In its early days, Firefox achieved significant marketshare because it was better and offered useful features that the incumbent browsers didn't.

Nowadays Firefox is just a poor Chrome knockoff with no distinguishing features. As a casual user who switches but is unaware of add-ons/etc, Firefox gives you nothing, so why would you switch?

Firefox can reinvent itself and regain marketshare by shipping actually useful features like built-in ad & distraction blocking, but chooses not to.

Firefox mobile allows you to have extensions, while Chrome mobile does not.

> I think that $10 million is a great answer for "how much money is more than you'll ever need".

Years ago I lived on $40 per month, after building my own cabin in Oregon -- wood heat, kerosene lanterns. Then I bought an Apple II and things got more complicated (https://www.atariarchives.org/deli/cottage_computer_programm...). But basically I agree with you. Most people will never have that much, or need it.

Also plugging Firefox mobile here if you do any web browsing from mobile. You can add uBlock Origin on Firefox mobile, which you can't do on Chrome mobile.

I thought the headline was mocking Shopify, not Spotify. It shows how little creativity we have in tech company naming.

I wonder which suffix is more popular, -ify, -ly, or -r.

Does it rebalance daily? Wouldn't you pay short term cap gains if it does?

Or is the strategy to buy an index, then only sell losers after an amount of time?

Is Python experience absolutely required for the SE role? It's probably the easiest language to pick up, no?
