Should Firefox stay the default browser in
Fedora Workstation?
I know it's powerful, it has a lot of extensions, and it's
popular. But it's integration with our desktop is lacking
and getting worse all the time.
Here's a list of things Firefox lacks in Fedora:
* GPU acceleration
* Integration with the desktop's geolocation services
* On that note, geolocation doesn't work at
all in Fedora's firefox at the moment
* Integration with the desktop's notification
system
* Support of url scheme handlers (this used to work)
* UI that matches the rest of the desktop (without
installing 3rd party theme and extensions)
* GTK3 support
* High-DPI support
* Touch input support
Some of those issues are being actively worked on, other have
incomplete patches in upstream's bugzilla with nobody working to
finish them, and some of them seem to be issues that will never
be solved (such as making the UI feel more "native" to GNOME).
Meanwhile, Epiphany (GNOME Web) keeps getting better and
better, perhaps we should consider it as the default?
