"Anyone can download the app, but free users will be given a 14-day trial to test drive it.'

So it's only for premium users ?

 
 

I love Firefox and I used it on and off for many years. Right now I am using Brave because I just prefer the look and feel of it. I want to move to Firefox again but I just can't stand the way the tabs look on Firefox. They are too big and ugly and it's not great on a laptop, etc. Once you have a few open then they are not readable anymore. What are some ways to change the look?

She was underweight before because she hardly ate anything. She's way better now. But some people comment on her change of weight because they compare it to how she was before.

 

She gained some weight but she is not fat at all!

That's a bad analogy. A browser with 5 tabs is not like having 5 different browsers open.

If I could, I would. Sadly being from North Africa makes it hard for me to donate to my favorite FOSS projects. There are many restrictions and even getting a credit card that's usable internationally is a pain, and it only gives you an amount each year you can use online. Not to mention having a really low currency and bad economy would make even a trivial donation feel like a sizable portion of your income. My comment wasn't a dig at Firefox but a lament. It shows how complex things are. The FOSS and privacy oriented option has to rely here on Google having enough money to give to it. Google having enough money relies on data mining. So the monetization of privacy-respecting option relies on other users letting go of their privacy to Google. While Firefox is a superior option, it is worth seeing how ultimately we are still fucked. Even the FOSS option survives through ad revenue of another company. This highlights the problem of FOSS monetization that needs to be solved. Firefox should learn from Thunderbird.

Yea but I wish Firefox didn't survive completely on money from Google

 
 
 
 
 

I hope this is the right place to ask. I am new to Nix and trying to use it for now as a universal package manager. I installled Stremio using Nix but the app doesn't work properly. I see that it's several versions out of date. The same app works fine using Flatpak. Is there a way to let the maintainer know? I'd also love some documentation that can help me update it myself. I can just use the Flatpak but I just want to have one less package manager to worry about.
