    I like Zen ! Ladybird Pre-Alpha is scheduled for 2026, so, yeah, maybe this decade.

    Hey I really liked Zen too! But I’m having trouble opening new tabs, like when I’m on a random webpage on the first tab, I go Ctrl T and the prompt comes up. I type in a search query or a URL and when I press enter, it’s a toss up whether the browser decides to override the current tab I’m on or actually load it in a second tab. Is anyone else facing the same issue or did I misconfigure something?

      Terry A. Davis popularised the term. He was a software engineer that ended up with a very bad case of schizophrenia. While unemployed due to his illness, he streamed while working on his own operating system that he built with the intention of "communicating with God". While streaming, he used to go on these rants about how federal agents are spying on him, calling them "glowies" more often than not along the n word with a very hard r at the end. The term "glowies" has very racist associations.

      In other words, you need to be somewhat fairly far down the alt-right pipeline if you actually talk about "glowies".

        The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

        Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

            This spineless mouth breather just realised there's a buck to be made by glazing other alt-right mouth breathers. At least he can finally be himself now. Thankfully, his product is just google chrome repackaged and thereby sucks major ass.

              TempleOS is legit super impressive, it's a shame the dude was pretty much insane but also that's probably what it takes to code an entire OS from scratch entirely by yourself.

                    https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/glowie-glowposting

                    Glowie, also known as a Glown****, is a slang term popular on 4chan's /pol/ board used in reference to CIA or other governmental agents posing as ordinary 4chan users in order to bait others into sharing incriminating information.

                    In 2017, schizophrenic computer programmer Terry Davis, known for his TempleOS software that he claimed was dictated to him by God and meant to be God's third temple, made a video showing off various aspects of TempleOS. In the video, Terry says, "The CIA n*****s glow in the dark, you can see them if you're driving. You just run them over, that's what you do."

                    The term "glow in the dark" refers to the obvious nature of their camouflage, leaving them exposed when they're trying to hide in the shadows.

                    In fairness to Brave CEO I did not know it had racist origins and only thought it referred to the last paragraph.

                      He was CEO briefly, until the controversy over his appointment got loud enough. It makes sense he would've been paid the most that year, especially with the golden parachute CEOs get when they leave.

                      His appointment remains one of the most damaging events in Mozilla's history, as it led to the resignation of multiple prior leaders (including previous CEOs). Making him CEO might've been Mitch Baker's worst decision as chairwoman.

                          That's the problem with racist bullshit. They scrape the racism off and peddle it everywhere until it's widely accepted and not tied to it's roots anymore.

                                  I understood what he said. Strip out some rude terms and it sounds accurate. The comments here sound like someone shouted “squirrel” to a pack of rabid dogs.

                                  I also lack common sense and am posting this comment. In my feeble defense I really don’t know the guy, and suspect he likes baiting others

                                      That's a damn shame. Any other browsers look good on a tablet?

                                      I think Waterfox looks pretty great and works well for me. Not sure how different it is from Firefox Mobile itself since I switched from Chrome to Waterfox directly, but assume Firefox probably looks pretty similar.

                                        The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

                                        Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

                                        Not shocked the fake coin browser has a right-wing CEO.
