They link the issue [1] tracking the change which also speaks about disabling cranelift.
To my knowledge cranelift was made for the purpose of compiling WebAssembly in Firefox, so I am not sure if I am missing something here (it's not yet production ready maybe). The Cranelift README[2] mentions that it will be a backend for IonMonkey.
I am a complete layman here so I am curious if someone here has a better understanding.

While it may not have been the point of the article it gives no reason why you should consider CopperheadOS.
This is my perspective taking the article at face value as a complete layman in Hardware and OS security who cannot provide any critic or judgement on the technical content of the article.
It wasn't hard to whip up a cli wrapper for NewPipeExtractor which I am already using on my phone for Youtube via Newpipe.
It is pretty limited currently, but sufficient for my purposes.
To my knowledge there is no correlation to place of birth. While there may be statistical differences in the distribution of characteristics such as say skin colour among communities which I am unaware of, you will find a reasonable representation of all physiognomies? in each community.
The classification of higher and lower caste itself is an oversimplification.
Wearing the thread implies that you are from a Brahmin community. Brahmin is just one of the many communities that exist in India based on geography, language (including numerous dialects), wealth and religion (including different sects). Each of these communities think they are better than some subset of indian ethnicities.
Some groups (Dalits being one of the prominent examples) are unfortunately at the receiving end of biases from almost everyone else.
It just seems so for native speakers as they know a lot more about the history of their language than others.
English speakers seem particularly susceptible to it since its lineage has been extensively studied.
It may also just seem so to me since I hang around primarily in the English speaking Internet.
It seems to be a universal characteristic of people to co-opt largely harmful activities such as smoking for useful things such as social interaction or relaxation.
While a dark mode option made by the website itself may be able to handle certain edge cases that the browser dark modes may miss, for most part part the browser dark mode features handle most cases quite admirably.
I feel that rather than going behind individual website developers, making the need known to the platform browser developers is a more scalable approach. Even if HN gets a dark mode, what about the websites it links to? Do you also plan to ping the the Devs there for a dark mode option?
From my experience multiple independent dark mode toggles for each website I visit are a pain to manage. I never use them. Dark mode is purely and globally handled by browser extensions.
The choice of a programming language (without considering specific details of the application) is very subjective with a low signal to noise ratio. What looks aesthetic or ergonomic for others will most likely not apply to you.
For most practical applications things like the runtime, library ecosystem and other factors become more important and just "Rust or Golang for backend development?" isn't very helpful.
Most people own Android phones where they can sideload apps downloaded from some third party APK website (of questionable trustworthiness)
iPhones have negligible penetration in India so are not even a part of the equation.
I also have noticed that I never use the site specific Dark mode implementations as it is a lot more convenient to globally enable dark mode (at night) rather than playing around with toggles for every website that supports it.
I use this link which will open in WhatsApp by default to send a WhatsApp message to someone who is not in my Contacts and don't want to add to my Contacts just to send a WhatsApp message.
It will be a pain in the arse to use for all your contacts and probably not worth the effort as if you use WhatsApp regularly (for an Indian there's no way around it) you will have sent a message to almost everyone on your contact list at least once and Facebook will know about it rendering the whole thing pointless.
I think Flatpak is trying to improve Linux application security but still has a really long way to go compared to the likes of Android and iOS.
But I can't really justify myself buying it at the hefty price tag of $555 in India. (The extra $155 being added due to the high custom duties on imports in India.)
Salaries (at least for software developers) here being 1/4th of that of US developer salaries or lesser makes even the $400 price in US not quite easy to digest.
It seems I will be stuck with buying an Android One phone instead.
A lot of people here have said that Firefox was a slow and bloated mess pre-Quantum. I suppose I stuck to Firefox when most people shifted over to Chome because my internet connection had been slow enough that internet was unusable without javascript and images disabled (this is no viable as a significant proportion of websites don't work without JS). Hence my browser ran pretty light and never gave me any issues.
At work for development I now use Chrome (for devtools) as Firefox still chokes up on really large javascript files. For anything else Firefox remains my default as it is comparable to chrome now in terms of performance (this only means I haven't noticed any noticeable difference for my web browsing workloads) and has a lot of features that I like (containers, customisability,...).
edit: The above refers to my choice of browser on Desktop.
Having worked at Bangalore and Hyderabad, living along/nearby any road with regular traffic lead to poor sleep quality due to sound pollution from senseless honking. Poorly enforced regulations regarding the hours when construction is allowed don't help either.
I sort of agree with this as when I come back from work I often find myself lacking the willpower to do anything more than skim HN, reddit or watch something on youtube and then sleep.
I've found myself to be more productive if I get some time in the morning before I go to work.
The browser seems to get regular enough updates on play store, has decent ad blocking (at least good enough for my purposes) and to date has the best night mode out of all android browsers I've tried.
No white flashes like I've faced in Firefox for Android. The dark mode applies to the whole of the browser UI.
I use Bromite, Firefox for Android or Fenix mostly equally during the day and Kiwi at night.
Though the fact that it is not open source may put some people off.
