I play badminton, which has games that are about ten minutes long. I've noticed an uptick in the number of times I've had to stop and wait for someone I'm playing with to read a message on their smartwatch.

Well, unless you're using threads.
Or did I miss the sarcasm?
For better or worse, describing software this way is fairly standard usage - e.g. robots.txt.
That’s quite useful in the example given (passing errors back to clients), but I wonder if sometimes these others errors are artifacts from the first error - it would be more annoying to have these false negatives (and wasting time understanding that that’s what they are) than having to retry.

As your screenshot says, you've enabled HTTPS-Only Mode - that's not the default, though, so most(?) Firefox users don't see that.

He doesn't come across as overly prescient there, but there's definitely some of the familiar juggling trade-offs in his design decisions.
Firefox Containers are awful
Do you have any sources or reasons for this condemnation?
I wonder how up-to-date that warning is, given that the feature was introduced in TB 38 and we're now on TB 60.
