Martin Stransky highlights some recent major achievements for #Firefox on Linux: ""HDR video playback support, reworked rendering for fractionally scaled displays, and asynchronous rendering implementation. All this progress was enabled by advances in the Wayland compositor ecosystem, with new features implemented by Mutter and KWin.

And there are even more challenges waiting for us Firefox Linux hackers:

Wayland session restore […]
Utilize the fractional-scale-v2 protocol when it becomes available. […]
Vulkan video support via the ffmpeg decoder to enable hardware decoding on NVIDIA hardware.""

Search on YouTube is at its worst right now. You type "how to make apple pie," and the algorithm gives you three ads, a viral cat short, and a "For You" video about gaming.

It is what @pluralistic rightly calls enshittification.

I spent the last month refactoring the core script for search fixer. Big improvements:
> A new settings UI that doesn't look like an airplane cockpit.
> Improved anti-shorts protocol: Revert shorts to the normal player.
> Fixed the filters for those annoying auto-generated "mixes" that clutter the results.
> Optional grid view for search.
> Experimental keyword matching.
