Feature request: would it be possible to get a "share" button or popup for links on the front page, so one could open articles in Firefox/Edge instead of the inbuilt browser? I get issues with some sites, and on top of that sometimes I find articles I'd love to share with my friends through {messaging app of choice}.
As always, muchas gracias!

Comment on Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome in ~tech
Mr_Cromer Link ParentThere's a few sites I use (ironically enough, for learning backend development) that either do not run in Firefox ,or offer a degraded experience. For them, I keep Edge on both phone and laptop.There's a few sites I use (ironically enough, for learning backend development) that either do not run in Firefox ,or offer a degraded experience.

Disclaimer: I'm from Nigeria, not Niger, albeit my hometown is just across the border, so I have a personal stake in this. This may colour my statements with bias.
That said, I can't help but lament what's going on over there now. By all indications Bazoum was doing quite well (the corruption and graft were real, but not new). My brother was in Zinder a few months ago (there's a girl he wants to marry from there) and he couldn't be more complementary of the state of things.
When the coup first happened I actually suspected it was France backed. A while ago Bazoum was on BBC Hausa talking about reducing Nigerien reliance on the French monetary system and policy, and dictating Niger's future from Niamey, not Paris. Now everything seems much murkier.

That said, I'm not sure it actually addresses the elephant in the room: under the terms of the GPL, are Red Hat even allowed to do what they're trying to do with locking down downstream distros?

Interesting. I'm guessing here, but based on a phrase about extensions installed "from the store", could it be that the problem lies in Firefox borking custom/3rd party extensions?
