Tried the @Vivaldi browser. A good example of when “the more the better” doesn’t work. Sure it is an IMHO.
Still very interesting. Having your emails and calendars integrated into a browser is a good alternative when OS-built-in tools for this are crap.
Now back to @firefox.

A good example of when “the more the better” doesn’t work.
What does it mean? Integrated email and calendar apps may seem unnecessary, but “doesn’t work” is a next-level problem.
@nosurprises , by “doesn’t work” I meant that Vivaldi has too many features and customizations built-in. Abnormally many.
I’m honestly sick and tired of minimalism and less is more approach in software, so I appreciate them adding as much features as possible and I would love if some of these came to Firefox.
Thanks for clarification. I agree with that. That’s subjective, but I personally don’t need all that in my browser.
Just FYI, the account that you mentioned (
@firefox) is actually the lemmy community !firefox@lemmy.ml. This resulted in your toot appearing as a post in that community on lemmy.Say, do you know the Mozilla Browser?
@Jagermo, I even remember the Netscape. And I thought the all-in-one applications era was finished a long time ago. Somewhere around the Nero Burning ROM death )))
Zawinskis Law still applies, it seems
Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.” Coined by Jamie Zawinski (who called it the “Law of Software Envelopment”) to express his belief that all truly useful programs experience pressure to evolve into toolkits and application platforms (the mailer thing, he says, is just a side effect of that). It is commonly cited, though with widely varying degrees of accuracy.
Why did you include so many hash tags
It was posted from mastodon. That’s also why it sounds like a completely random tweet and doesn’t fit in with lent Lemmy.
@forbiddenlake @possiblylinux127, yes, that’s why. It was an accident, I swear )
