Thank you for the info! Otherwise I would have missed the deal. The affinity suite is the best thing since Photoshop 5.0

I'm still consulting my venerable encyclopaedia britannica dvd until this day. It works great under wine and actually does not work under a current version of windows anymore.

Gretlat that they're making progress! aTM windows still flicker or fail to show content. I'd love to use it in production later this year maybe ...

I am dependent on a couple of programs I run via wine - and wine still isn't directly compatible with wayland and buggy with xwayland...

For me the direct opposite is true. About two years ago Google stopped giving me any accurate results, feeding me a bunch of semi-related garbage instead. DuckDuckGo feels like the Google of old: results that actually (literally) contain the terms of the query and not much else. I'd hate using the internet without it.

I think a lot comes down to preinstalled SW on phones (Chrome/Safari) and the enterprise world. My rather large employer just switched from FF preinstalled to Edge for all work devices since it alreadz comes with Windows.

Maybe Firefox is missing a really compelling enterprise offering for Desktops? Everybody less savvy is on mobile anyways, which is dominated by the Duopoly Apple/Google.

Actually in my country DuckDuckGo is the only reliable search engine left. Google started giving me a bunch of bogus results for very specific queries a couple of years ago. Sad that FF depends so much on Ma'Google.

You know that abebooks is a subsidiary of Amazon, right? As is ZVAB in Europe. They really have the market by the reins.

Affinity is just great and reasonably compatible with Adobe files. It's been my way out of the Adobe hegemony, after trying for Corel or Opensource tools for years. Without the creative cloud client crashing life has been so much more enjoyable !

Blackberry used to have a "global device search" feature. I'd love something like that for Android.

Is there a way to use about:config ?

I'd wish Pebble was still around! There's been nothing like it since.
