Ray McCarthy@raymaccarthy@mastodon.ie: @plwt @firefoxwebdevs The word "happily" is out of context. I have used Chrome (Android/ChromeOS)_, Edge (windows), IE (various cursed versions on Windows) and Safari (Apple Things) to "browse the web" and get a different browser such as Firefox, seamonkey, Vivaldi, Waterfox, Chromium and others. I'd be on Vivaldi if about:config didn't exist. The only reason I'm not is more flexible script blocking on Firefox to suit TheGuardian web news.

@raymaccarthy @firefoxwebdevs You have never needed to use about:config.  You can still quite happily browse the web using Firefox without going into about:config.

@raymaccarthy @plwt fwiw Vivaldi does have AI features like translation, and it even sends text to the cloud to perform that translation.
