> Google will be forced to share search data with competing search providers, giving them a better chance of gaining market share and loosening Google’s iron grip on web search.
> Under the new rules, Google will have to provide data to other search firms transparently and for a reasonable fee. Google will also have to treat AI chatbots as search services for the purposes of data sharing.
> The company must be ready to start sharing search data with other companies in January 2027. The Android platform must be updated for deeper integration with AI apps by July 2027.
For anyone else who is tired of losing unsaved comments after accidentally hitting ^w:
1. Load about:keyboard
2. Find "Close tab" and click "Clear" or "Change".
There doesn't appear to be any other way to directly address this issue within ff, short of modifying the source and recompiling. According to MDN[0], manifest.json does not support changing internally defined keyboard shortcuts:
>If a key combination is already used by the browser (like "Ctrl+P") or by an existing add-on, then you can't override it. You can define it, but your event handler will not be called when the user presses the key combination.
Consider switching to an alternative front end, such as https://hckrnews.com/ . They offer different features, and some continue to show flagged submissions for some time.
Ladybird is a BSD-2[0] project from Andreas Kling, the same person behind SerenityOS.
awesomekling does monthly progress recaps, January's[1] shows LB as the fourth most standards compliant browser, just behind Safari. For example, GMail, Google Calendar, and Figma all fully load now, though usability is not at 100% yet.
The updates also have video versions[2], which include demos of Ladybird's rendering.
Last year, Ladybird became an official non-profit[3] and received a $1mm donation from Chris Wanstrath (a Github founder). There's an optional Donorbox link in the upper-righthand corner of ladybird.org[4].
