Yes! It does use wlroots but i wasnt sure if the developers would have to go out of their ways to implement it you know? I really dont know anything about wayland dev so maybe its sooner than i think :)

Sway uses wlroots, IIRC? It should get that support soon, I hope!
The Linux Experiment
Absolutely. If you manage to gain 10 000 new users but lose 10 000 old ones, you haven't really made much progress :D
The Linux Experiment
Yeah, they really have no idea who their userbase is moade up of, or if they do, they do an awesome job ignoring them to try and conquer other demographics

Mozilla may be one of the most tone-deaf organizations that I have seen, when it comes to understanding their current and potential users.

About Firefox, it would be good if they concentrate again on Firefox. But they need indeed to really understand what their users want, and not go in all directions. At least it looks like Firefox has some traction again. They still have quite a bit of work to become again exciting, even if I continue using it.

Great news on the screen/window capture!! Hopefully coming to swayfx soon :)
