From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Pretty sure it’s always been like this.
The web is a mess. If you do anything on it on any combination of software and hardware and expect security or functionality you’re barking up the wrong tree.
You're probably right. I just want what's advertised: software that uses web standards to interact with servers on my behalf. Idk where this feature lands on that scale. This seems like a pre-browser-extension sort of feature that is obsolete now.
So the site should just... Not work in firefox then?
A lot of the sites in the about:compat block or don't work in Firefox because the sites don't follow web standards
May I interest you in lynx?
Yaaassss :D when can I get framebuffer support on Android? 😹
Don’t look too far into android if the browser having a bunch of compatibility exceptions baked in makes you squeamish.
