Any evidence to support this allegation?

Mozilla could just as well be a victim of badmouthing.

What has that got to do with Hacker News?

Wonder why you haven't mentioned ETFs which are much safer than investing in individual stocks which may realize a 100% loss should the company file for chapter 11.

Encryption password entry in the clear in a dialog!

That should at least be <input type="password">

divx, seriously?

Is that example in the screenshot a good one?

This works fine in a Content Scratchpad of nightly Firefox for me:

  // See also
  // https://github.com/richgilbank/ES6-Repl-Chrome-Extension/issues/12
  function add(a, b) {
    return a + b;
  }
  let nums = [5, 4];
  console.log("foobar" + add(...nums));

you have to do testing in released browsers, of course, but you wouldn't get the latest devtools features that way, neither in firefox nor in chrome.

Which versions of Chrome and Firefox did you compare to come to these conclusions?

Firefox has an Addon Debugger.

Also https://addons.mozilla.org (AMO) has much more accountable guidelines than https://chrome.google.com/webstore/ (cws).

cws has a lot of issues with lengthy reviews as well https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!searchin/ch...

Over at AMO you can monitor the review queue position of your addon, and there is even IRC channels #amo-editors and #amo to talk to.

Review mails have specific feedback about issues they find.

Google extension reviews, bug reports (e.g. Chrome or Android bugs[1]), googlecode site support[2], are an ever growing super massive black hole.

[1] e.g. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list?can=2&q=blueto... [2] https://code.google.com/p/support/issues/list

Which tools and which versions of browsers are you comparing? I guess as a developer you would be using Canary Chrome vs. Nightly Firefox, to get the latest features, right?

I find Firefox less resource-hungry and with the WebIDE and Code Snippets that don't need to import/export to devtools source snippets it might even be ahead of Chrome.

Paul already pointed you to nodejs based jpm, which will fully replace cfx soon.

Another great thing with the addon-sdk is it works with Firefox for Android as well (with some limitations).

Does Chrome for Android even have extensions yet?

Ah, screenshot in firefox command line, google search, and here is the answer:

What is that photo from wikipedia? Anyone know that theme?

Hmmh, now I can see the Apple Timeline in Firefox (Nightly) at http://www.apple.com/30-years/

All they are trying to say is they don't want new customers.

Either you are inside their walled garden, or out (the better place for me).

That was a very good presentation.

They don't seem to be interested in feedback on that site though.

{position: sticky} will definitely be a great feature to have.

Hmmh, I have no clue why my opinion sounds like a judgement.

I just think this confrontation in public (with one side as yet unidentified) will not work towards a solution.

But will this increase the web designer's chances to get paid? I don't think so.

While it sure provides negative publicity for the store owner, it would probably not further the career of the web designer either.

Yep, I don't see how this can be interpreted as an apology. Looks like a rant to me.

Yep, my thoughts exactly.

If you call it lispy it's gotta use parens.

The curlies immediately suggest some broken json or perl hash.

I can see the lispy spirit in applying the car to the cdr, and I like it!

One first bug report (or feature removal request):

&nbsp; makes it to the output, but is replaced with the U+00A0 character in the input textarea.

{p like &nbsp; so}

What's the concern with a real lisp syntax?

I for one like it!

Not Found

The requested URL /ripping-oauth-tokens-or-other-secrets-out-of-tweetdeck-twitter-app-and-other-apps/ was not found on this server.

There's actually a simple workaround for that:

See http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ans... (Create shortcuts for other apps) which I found via http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7295508/javascript-captur...

All Google Chrome keyboard shortcuts are now not interfering when used in ymacs (C-j, C-k, C-n, C-p, C-t, C-w).

bad headline.

bad spell checking.

shameless self-promotion.

gathering requirements during dinner and compressing the schedule from 18 months to 9. I'm sure it was great to work in engineering there and keep those managers honest.

My feedback is targeted at the ymacs demos giving a better "first impression", which at this point might be the only one allowed for many.

I am taking the time because that's the most emacsy (unintended bun) experience I've had in a web editor and to me that is a compliment.

I had to "Load its own code!" and read it to jump over these brick walls:

* C-x C-b is undefined

* C-h gives me a chrome://chrome/history/ lesson, but that might be chrome's fault

* M-x sounds the bell (why?) but "that's all she wrote". Neiter ? nor SPC do more than insert themselves in the minibuffer. Reading sources I find M-x switch_to_buffer (C-x b) would work, if only by keyboard (the menu does not allow one to actually pick an entry).

Why not implement C-x C-b? Would it be that hard? Or just let it do what C-x b does for now?

M-x ? and M-x SPC listing all available commands would be a big win too.

But a commad like M-x switch_to_buffer should not really be presented to an emacs user, make that M-x switch-to-buffer, even if some internal mapping may be needed.

* It seems to have some character encoding issues in the modeline:

ymacs.frames[0].getModelineElement().innerHTML

"-- <b>test.js</b>Â&nbsp;Â&nbsp;49% of 1.35kÂ&nbsp;Â&nbsp;(13,3) "

[Live demo] at http://www.ymacs.org/ links to http://www.ymacs.org/demo/

* Modeline looks good in this one:

ymacs.frames[0].getModelineElement().innerHTML

"-- <b>test.lisp</b> (1,0) "

brettcvz, mishoo, tomelam, keep up the good work, I really like this!

Yep, it's still broken.

<base href="http://git.bytbox.net/ /> fixes that page, but pages reached from there are still suffering the some bad base href.
