I thought I share this here for people who like the UI of Firefox but hate it's performance and like chrome performance but hate its UI.

That's pretty specific. What kinds of things are you doing that are impacting performance? Never had that issue with any mobile browser

People accused MKBHD for "killing" products with his reviews. Both cannot be true

I think it was pretty convenient for the specific use case of discovering an article you want to read later on an e-reader. Or so I hear

Huge +1 recommendation for Manic Miners. Functionally a 1:1 remake with everything you could ask for and more- lots of settings, remastered levels, and a level builder. The (solo) dev got hired by Lego's video game division afterwards

You can certainly remain silent and ask for a lawyer if you're a U.S. citizen. Here's a good resource

any of the thousands of games that predate “the cloud” or games that don’t even have a save feature.

Well sure, but those games were all made with that specific context in mind. You don't simply start over BotW each time and have as good of an experience, because that's not how it was designed. You don't design 25+ hours worth of content for a campaign and expect it to be fine for players to lose their progress. This is a port~~al~~able gaming handheld we're talking about. You can drop it. You can lose it. Spills happen. SD cards get corrupted.

Besides, if you’re not paying for the service, you’re the product not the consumer.

It wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't a walled garden. Forcing payment for a basic feature plus not allowing any alternatives is classic anti-competitive behavior.

Lack of free cloud saves is a non-starter. Why spend hundreds of hours on a save that can be gone at a moment's notice?

Assuming they're not qualified is a form of implicit racial bias

I don't think this includes the engine

That's what most people said about Trump in 2016.

How is it an alternative?

Unless there's something I'm missing, your response doesn't seem related to the original comment
