Not here.
Although I do see MS Office being pushed when updating. Maybe you should show him OOSU10.exe -
@TbGbe holy cow, i just realised your local time! i see your insomnia / nightowlness has not abated, over all these years [um, i mean, weeks, coz i'm only noo here].

i feel a bit left behind with the old ESR
true that's the "negative" of it, especially for us that are used to "always latest", but it's understandable for a 1-2-man project. Maybe the situation will improve now that Vrovaldi realised how badly they screwed it up with their choice (see menus+UI fiasco) and decide to fork Floorp with the name

Thing is ESR will jump 8 versions to 123, that's still not enough/edit: phew that was not correct -

ESR will jump 8 versions to 123
only 123? am i misunderstanding how we should interpret this?:

@ybjrepnfr you don't say? . I had the (false) impression it was always jumping 8 versions apparently, that's really great!
ESR has taught me how it feels being a Debian user

See you again soon! Thank for your using!
Floorp is almost ready to move to a rapid release basis!
dunno what this means exactly, but feeling potentially excited.
-
@ybjrepnfr Ah, very interesting indeed! Let's hope it is what we think it is . I was already semi excited reading
Floorp 11 is now in maintenance mode.
This means that the development of the next major updates, Floorp 12, Floorp ORIGIN, will begin.
, which I suppose is nothing more than the regular, mid-July, 128 release according to your screenshot, but that quote would drive excitement to another level. It's a bit contradicting/confusing though 15 days earlier saying "the future is uncertain" and now accelerating the pace, but hey it sounds pretty normal for tiny grasshoppers .

Floorp Browser | v11.13.0 Release Notes
Lots of Floorpโs code has been refactored to make the codebase cleaner.
All of Floorpโs content scripts have been rewritten to ESM, and Floorp is in the process of cleaning up its codebase to move from ESR-based to Rapid Release-based.
Later this year, Floorp plans to launch a number of initiatives to help maintain the health of the browser and generate revenue from its software in a way that doesnโt compromise user privacy.

@npro given we don't yet have enough info on that third point, i think for now i'll try to not fixate on it & worry too much, til we know more. as for the second point, i think i can't fully describe the great satisfaction & pleasure i feel about this. i think it's really wonderful news. ofc it's still not going to be as "edge" as our nice FFN, but even so, if it's about to have version-parity with vanilla-firefox, that'll still be a marvellous leap forward. as you know [coz i've moaned about it enough, ha], for me THE one big disadvantage of floorp til now is its
esr
base. yay! -
@ybjrepnfr I'm wondering what 'Midori' will be doing though, will they fork again? Silently again? Played cleverly by surapuyousei

@npro the unbelievable gall of these bastards; it's breathtaking!

-
@ybjrepnfr True, but I think this is not related to Floorp's new update. We 'll see about the new one soon I guess :). Not that I would compare their github pages ofc... Midori was bought by that company called Astian and then they switched the engine without giving any credit to Floorp, , not interested in more than that.
Floorp on a ~1-month Firefox cycle will be

tis quite irrational i know, but each day for the past three days i thought that v11.13.0 would have arrived, such that now i'm slightly climbing the walls.

@ybjrepnfr That's the thing about ESR,
it made me stop caring about updatesfamous last words... . In their github there were some weird references today, like...
