Since you own the "perma.link" domain name (I just looked it up) why don't you use that instead of .cc which has issues?
It's really annoying that domain is not the main one, it's so much better!

I stopped distro hopping after switching to Arch (with Sway WM), now my same installation is hopping across laptops instead.
It might not be friendly for new Linux users but I feel in control using it and keep it maintained and clean easily.
I usually recommend Vanilla OS for non-tech savvy people, in case you're looking for something that just works. It will probably become limiting for you after a while since you like tinkering.

Chrome to Firefox is a relatively easy switch, especially for those that don’t depend on Google sync. The main sources of friction for me were the lack of a good profile switching UI (solved with a browser extension that mimics the Chrome menu), and weird security requirements for homemade extensions (IIRC if you want to have the extension persist after restarting Firefox, you need to sign the extension, which is a pain)
For users switching from Arc, there is no good alternative, but Firefox with Sidebery and custom CSS comes close.
I've been using Floorp for a while to get proper vertical tabs.

This made me think of one thing that I've wanted to see for a long time with browsers: split-pane view.
In other words, the ability to see two browser sessions, side-by-side, with a vertical split between them. Two viewports, each with their group of tabs. The same type of view you can get in, for example, Notepad++ with its "Tab>Move to Other View", or Visual Studio's "Tab>New Vertical Document Group".
I frequently arrive at situations where I want to compare the contents of one webpage against the contents of another webpage. So far, the most usable option I've found is to split the 2nd tab off into a new window, then arrange the two windows side-by-side.
There is "Side View"[1], but that shows a bare viewport, which makes browsing in the 2nd viewport much more restricted than regular browsing.

Floorp, a Firefox fork, has this feature.
I would rather get a cheap Android phone with LineageOS and just remove anything I don't want.
These types of languages are a bad idea, just as XPath was. They are complex enough to be a maintenance/bug risk AND don't bring any additional benefit to just writing code in your normal programming language to do the same thing.
You can take my list comprehensions from my cold, dead hands.
There isn't a use case I've seen where these types of mini languages fit well. Ostensibly, you could give it to a user to write to query JSON in a domain-agnostic way in an app but I think it would just confuse most users as well as not being powerful enough for half of their use cases.
Sometimes it's better just to write code.

What if the query is implemented in a lower level and more efficient programming language, or probably a completely separate DB engine.

It is unclear why that having multiple different browser engines is strategically important. As far as I know we've long left behind the world where a hobbyist project could reasonably expect to implement modern JavaScript. Brave's existence and success suggests that competitors building on Chromium are viable.
Not to say it is a bad thing to have alternatives floating around; but at this point it is probably easier to have multiple forks of Chromium than strive to have code with a completely independent genealogy.
