      @kingslyj might not be aware that we've had some...interesting times...getting WASM threading launched (a requirement for Earth) thanks to Spectre and Meltdown. Luckily, Site Isolation has launched!: https://security.googleblog.com/2018/07/mitigating-spectre-with-site-isolation.html …

      Which is to say that heroic efforts are being taken by the team to make this stack work on top of standards-based technology. I worry that other browsers which haven't invested as heavily in site isolation won't have the required tech for a while to come = \

      Also, I would hope everyone can agree that the _trajectory_ here is good: instead of being plugin-based or fully-native (as Earth used to be), this is a team that is working hard to move to the web, using what's available, and committing to standards-based tech when it works.

      Outrage is cheap to manufacture and hard to tamp down -- but conspiracy theorism enlightens nobody and is not a great way to make progress. I look forward to FF launching WASM Threading and SABs!

          Thanks for clarifying in DM, @jhugman. Apologies on my part. I don't ever mean to minimize the impact of a lack of compat and hope y'all will continue to report issues to me and @DasSurma. Thanks for raising the visibility of this.

          The frequency of "Works only in Google Chrome" is only going up. This is "Google Meet" from last month.https://twitter.com/kingslyj/status/1004603737761968128 …

          @kingslyj added,

          @kingslyj @kingslyj
          And @Google has reached "Works only with Internet Explorer" level of evil. Had to download @googlechrome for the first time because, Google Meet shows this page on Firefox, despite their claim that it works on Firefox. Doesn't work on Safari. pic.twitter.com/6j3yUYoWAE

          YouTube page load is 5x slower in Firefox and Edge than in Chrome because YouTube's Polymer redesign relies on the deprecated Shadow DOM v0 API only implemented in Chrome. You can restore YouTube's faster pre-Polymer design with this Firefox extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/youtube-classic …

      Loading seems to be taking a while.
