Longtime Mozilla user here, from back in the Netscape days. (And before that Mosaic, if you consider that "Mozilla".)

I like the approach of in-house "features" that are enabled as plugins. Reading the comments make it clear that users want different features.

Everyone wants stability and speed, though.

So give the users who actually want to use Pocket (or whatever the feature is) the ability to do so. But don't force the remaining 99.9% to even have it "installed" if they don't.

(On the Pocket note, I haven't come across a single person who uses it. Ever. But they may be out there, and I couldn't care less if they want to use it. I just don't want it bloating *my* browser.)

I would like to at least give a nod to some actual usability improvements. I recently had to upgrade to a newer ESR because a number of critical sites stopped working (see related comments about Chromium compatibility. It hearkens back to the old IE-compatibility days, which I hated then, and still hate now.). The I regularly have dozens and dozens of windows open, and dozens and dozens of tabs in each of those, so the "new?" ability to search for a tab is a huge help.

As far as the "make a good web browser that browses the web really well" comments, that's a loaded statement. For example, I doubt many users today would argue that the ability to play videos in a browser is a requirement. NVIDIA has this cool up-scaling technology called "RTX Video Super Resolution" that makes old, low-res videos look somewhat decent. My browsing experience is better because of that addition by the core developers.

I haven't looked at the code, but I get the impression that level of integration would be very difficult to achieve with an API. And I have enough experience working with plugin APIs to know that there's at least overhead involved in having them, and more overhead the "lower" they go.

So, if I can have RTX Video Super Resolution as a light-weight plugin, I'll take it. But I'm also perfectly happy that they have implemented it in Firefox already. I suspect people using AMD GPUs aren't as happy as I am. So it's a bit of a mixed bag. YMMV.

FWIW, I've been using Maildir in Thunderbird for a few years now. If my timestamps are correct, since 2019, even.

Drat! Beat me to it!

Can you please define your use of the term "exploit"?

Note: I'm not saying that billionaires *don't* exploit others as a rule, but I'd like to know what you mean by it.

For example, are you exploited if you agree to do some work for a wage with which you are content, regardless of how much your employer makes on the same work? Is exploitation based on how much you make vs your employer?

Yep.

We're all here, aren't we?

Apparently it's the Send to Kindle applications that will be getting this functionality. According to Amazon's help page (https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=G5WYD9SAF7PGXRNA), the Kindle Personal Documents Service (Send to Kindle email) already accepts EPUBs.

It's worthwhile noting that "beginning in late 2022, you'll no longer be able to send MOBI (.AZW, .MOBI) files to your library using Send to Kindle.":

I'm assuming both changes will applied in the same update, although I can't see how the two formats would be related.

While this will make sending from Calibre a bit easier, I don't believe Amazon is doing this out of the goodness of their hearts.

I'll be even happier if the EPUB Send to Kindle books support Word Runner (speed reader). As it is now, you can only get this by syncing eBooks from Calibre to a USB-connected Kindle.

I wonder if they'll let us UN-brick our previously-recycled products...

Agreed, for the most part. While the social aspect is important in team-building and cooperation, once-in-a-while in-person meetings are enough. While I'm self-employed now, I've always worked much better and more efficiently from home than in any office. Fewer distractions, less time spent in traffic, happier family, the benefits go on and on. However, some people aren't self-motivated enough to work from home unsupervised. I just hope for the workforce's sake that those given the opportunity during the virus fears will use the time to good advantage.
