I get the point they're making but I really like FAQ's. They help with the "know what you don't know" sort of thing at a glance. Perhaps not useful on a gov.uk site, but generally speaking.

I personally think it's a big improvement over what it was before -- on macOS at least. On macOS, Firefox had always felt a little bit off. Nothing too egregious, but just enough to make it slightly unpleasant (like the non-native context menus). I feel like that has been resolved in this update.

This is actually amazing! Completely changes the feel of the browser. It makes much more of a difference than I imagined it would. It feels so so much better on Mac.

Does anyone know if you can disable email on GSuite (i.e. change MX on my domain to Fastmail), but keep the rest? I use my GSuite account login on a lot of sites, I've got shared photo albums etc.

I think it's hard to get a feel for how it would look in practice from those short examples.

Library code might be a little ugly and abstract, but as an end-developer, you usually don't need to worry about it. The code you yourself would see and write is going to have a lot more meaning and be more understandable.

I've rarely had to do anything fancy with generics in my own projects. Where I've seen it be most useful is when I want to offer a flexible public API -- in which case, the choice of writing a bit of generic library code is much less smelly than copy pasta.
