I believe most would prefer a modular approach with a well built extension and addon framework.

I’d prefer the web browser to be good at web browsing. Excellent software already exists that does all of that.


  • bring back flash

Gwenview has a slide show option. Slideshow is not listed on the page, but it’s in the app.

It’s crazy that Firefox was good with ftp until they just decided to not support it anymore πŸ˜•

Upvoted for the tamagotchi / virtual pets. The other stuff, too, but mostly the virtual pets.

bring back flash

There are really good reasons flash died. If you’re desperate for flash content, use ruffle.
