It particularly sucks for desktop use on phones that support it, no right click, no keyboard short cuts, and it clips a bit off the bottom of pages, and they've apparently said they have no plans to support desktop on Android.

No need for an Apple keyboard unless you're looking for extra function keys, a regular keyboard will work fine, and if'n for some reason you need the Mac layout, it's available, I've always used the English (Macintosh) layout so I can get easy access to keys I like to use or sometimes need.

True, I'm not sure what the solution is, but saying the rules only apply to certain players rubs me the wrong way. And that's not even getting started on how much of the threat comes from US automakers refusal to produce electric cars until they were staring down a gun, plus how much they want to sell large expensive vehicles so they get nice large paychecks. Sure, China could and prolly is subsidizing their electric car industry, but we could do that too, in a way we already are with the tax credit only applying to American made vehicles.

You're welcome, it's a favorite, and I was going to post it to my blog, but decided it'd be more appreciated here

True, but banning them seems like using a nuke to deal with a fly, just a bit overkill. I don't expect the Chinese to play fair, but it seems that just saying that the rules only apply to American companies seems wrong and lazy.

Chuckles, "Yep, only American manufacturers should be allowed to cheaply build cars in Mexico and export them to the US."

In what way? It has some nice features that I'd like to see in Firefox after all

This is the second time I've tried Floorp, and a far bigger failure than last time.

IIRC didn't Tesla start building their network when there wasn't really a standard, and who was still going to win was up in the air? Seems like a good investment, but now that things have settled, creating your own network is really just a vanity project. Tesla opening up their network is smart, they were one of the two winners in North America, so opening up the network gives them a new revenue stream, and I'd be surprised if'n they don't find a way to leverage those chargers to drive sales.

Considering what I've heard about their network, this smells like a way to bail out of a failure while saving face

Well there is .floorp and .var/floorp for it's files, so I'm really not sure what they did, I suspect they left a few code calls to something Mozilla and that's where the problem lays

Yes, but knowing China, they'll be happy to supply Tesla, while selling knock-off parts and quality control failures under their own brand to anyone who wants them, at least until they get their own operation up and running to make their own cars, a process a lot easier when you're in the country, something Tesla will be facilitating.

 

Yep, my previous Schnucks recall wasn't even the tip of the iceberg, just a small part of a much larger mess.
