Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I promise, just because #curl and #Firefox often behave similarly, it is almost never because I once worked in the Firefox networking team. 🤠

Firefox download status: Downloading 200 KB per second, 2 MB remaining, expected done in 10 seconds.

15 minutes later: Still downloading 200 KB every second, still 2 MB remaining.

Curl, on the other hand, seems trustworthy. If it says the download will be done in 10 seconds, it's either done in 10 seconds, or the download speed will drop to zero.

Firefox and curl never felt similar.

@[email protected] they are indeed quite different beasts in the insides. #curl is not C++ spaghetti using a million threads for example. 😁

@[email protected] @[email protected] I’ll consider #curl as my primary browser, only if you promise not to include AI!

😂
