Why would you? Firefox is a spyware nowadays.

I kinda appreciate that you still apply some benefit of the doubt.

I've had zero problems with S3 wake/sleep on AMD ThinkPad with FreeBSD for years. And FreeBSD uses AMD drivers pulled from Linux. How is this still a problem on Linux?

Can't agree more, but my opinion is sentiment-biased. I was a paying customer back when Opera had ads-infested free version (and these were some huge banners on low-resolution screens) and an ads-free paid version. Browser tabs were a truly magnificent invention and made Opera stand out.

Shame that the company wasn't able to keep up. They had some really fresh ideas on improving web browsing and it didn't seem like throwing money at walls to check where it sticks. At the time.

> Ian's post is pretty incisive, although I've read so many of these over the past 15 years or so. And the prescription is always to go back in time.

My take from this post is not "go back in time" but "restore vision[ary management]":

> Much of these problems with Google today stem from a lack of visionary leadership from Sundar Pichai, and his clear lack of interest in maintaining the cultural norms of early Google.
