Hacker News upset that Google is going to turn off ad blocking: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20044430 … Few mention complexity of the web; nobody points out that if it weren’t so insanely complicated, it wouldn’t require a huge industrial effort to build a browser, so there would be no problem.

Same can be said about your experience with Firefox. And I'd argue, Your experience is in the tiny minority.

I am not making it up ... hundreds of people saw the livestream. All I did was install Firefox on a new laptop and visit some web pages. P.S. One reason why open source doesn’t succeed at user-facing stuff is this non-product “your problem is not really a problem” mentality.

I will certainly agree that it *should not* be as complicated as it is to draw stuff on the screen, but given the current playing field, problems are being had.

If it was a Google owned page, then I guess that was designed to behave that way. If it's that case I would rather boycott the crappy site and not the last relevant non-corp browser.

"Not sure why anyone thinks this is going to be a solution". It works well on some machines, so it is a solution for some people. Sorry it did not run well on your laptop. It ran something awful years ago on a Ubuntu PC. Is running fine today on my Windows PC.
