Very useful OS code search tool has got to a point where it cannot be run cheap :-( Maybe someone has any idea to continue the project?

Consider that for many GTK is also native. Mate/Gnome has been a standard for many years. Personally I'm getting more problems with Qt apps than GTK. Especially: font rendering, once a year or so Qt apps revert to outline fonts (I use bitmap OTB fonts as desktop font - i like pixel perfect quality in small sizes) or worse stop rendering font at all and I get empy menus. Second thing is IME support this also breaks very often on updates. Why Qt neglects such basic things I don't know, but because of the above I cannot call Qt 'excellent'

The thing that I don't understand is why the world has switched over to Chrome leaving Firefox behind. Here in Poland most of the tech people use Firefox as that was the alternative when IE was a bad guy and Firefox continues to be a good browser. What was the advantage of Chrome which made people exchange one monopoly for another? PNG had also hard times in IE at first, as far as I remember. So instead of fighting for good chrome, shouldn't we just fight for more diversity in browserland?

Actually very nice to integrate with. I'm not using Google or Apple in my life. On the phone I'm using sailfish OS, so the main stream apps are not usually ported natively. Fortunately someone used libsignal and added frontend so signal is my main means of communication with friends. And I still don't have to drown into Google or FB services.
