OK, fun is valid. And it's good to have expectations set.
Open source people who are looking for a more trustworthy browser than Firefox will have to look elsewhere, though.
Elsewhere… where? WebKit?

off topic, but I have never seen a link like yours before.
Today, I learned about Text Fragment Identifiers [0]. Thanks, very handy!
Chrome and Edge have a context menu item to create a link like this when you select text ("Copy link to highlight").
Firefox 131 and up will highlight the relevant portion on the page but can't create new links in a user-friendly fashion.

It's not built-in, but there is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/link-to-text-...
They do plan to switch to Swift: https://ladybird.org/#:~:text=Why%20build%20a%20new%20browse...
I appreciate their pragmatism though, it's allowed them to catch up to other alternative browsers in WPT coverage very quickly.
