I believe most would prefer a modular approach with a well built extension and addon framework.
Iβd prefer the web browser to be good at web browsing. Excellent software already exists that does all of that.
Dear god no
out of curiosity, what might I use for the slideshow application?
Gwenview has a slide show option. Slideshow is not listed on the page, but itβs in the app.
There are really good reasons flash died. If you're desperate for flash content, use ruffle.
It's crazy that Firefox was good with ftp until they just decided to not support it anymore π
Upvoted for the tamagotchi / virtual pets. The other stuff, too, but mostly the virtual pets.
