I don't understand what you are trying to say. I agree that SourceHut forcing their preference isn't good. The other two are configurable and I have configured them to my preference on my machines.

    You made it sound like Firefox wasn't configurable, my bad. I thought you were saying you didn't care that it wasn't configurable because you liked the width they chose.

    I agree that SourceHut forcing their preference isn't good.

    I don't think this is a fair point. Every developer makes "opinionated" decisions on default settings on a daily basis. SourceHut is open source and anyone can propose a patch that makes the tab width configurable, which to my knowledge has not happened. "Forcing their preferences" would imo imply that this discussion happened and the patch was rejected without good reason.

    To me, this sounds a lot like the usual "I don't like the how this thing that you provide for me for free is doing this one thing so I demand you change it for me free of charge" argument.
