I know we have our complaints about the browser, but I liked this one :)

I have to keep a version of Chrome around because Firefox refuses to support or won't support web USB. But other than that my daily driver is Zen. Firefox based. And I wouldn't trade it.

    Yes Firefox has pretty much been my daily driver since before it was called Firefox. And the UI overhaul in zen definitely elevates it. I wish the Mozilla Foundation was less focused on AI and advertisement bullshit and more focused on things like UI improvements or web USB support etc. The underlying engine is pretty decent. But it's the foundations behavior that really makes it not viable for a lot of people.

    Why.. Why would you?

    I mean rhetorical, but god why. I want many layers between me and any internet browser.

    Not OP, but it's insanely useful for microcontroller stuff

    Was part of a team who created an esp32 based gadget for "regular" people at a convention, and it was super easy to set up a website that reflashed the device if they wanted to change something or messed something up

    No need for users to install weird sdks, tool chains or using a terminal

    This. I have installed wled via espressifs ide and tools. It's doable. A lot more work.

    I'm all for the isolation and such. It absolutely shouldn't be avalible to just any website. But comparatively it's way easier.
