Firefox spokesperson Christopher Hilton tells The Verge that the browser has seen a more than 50 percent jump in users in Germany and a nearly 30 percent increase in France.

Brave saw a similar increase in users after Apple started letting users choose their default browsers on iOS 17.4 in the EU last week.

I learned the other day that macOS cannot turn mouse acceleration off without going into the terminal, but apparently macOS is user friendly and desktop linux is "only for developers".

And this is only the usability of a mac. On iPhone the usability is worse. One example, the quick action and notification shade are shown when you pull down from different side of the notch. My wife have used her iPhone 11 for many years, but still cannot remember which side is which.

My friend just has a virtual home button floating at all times, because this is easier than remembering which side gives you quick actions... LOL.

Usability is not just about customizability. Compatibility and ease of troubleshooting and remedying issues are also majorly important, arguably more so than customization.

Since when mouse acceleration in games is usable? Always-on mouse acceleration is unusability.
