Mind you the USA has a sitting president that didn’t win the election by way of a popular vote. More so it’s believed he cheated, though we know that everything that led to the elections was wrong from an ethical point of view. It’s very hard to get rid of these people once they take control of a country’s institutes and dismantle them one by one.

In case you’re not familiar with this guy, his writing isn’t much better. Consider this for example:
In 2016, Thiel apologized for two statements he made in the book: 1) "The purpose of the rape crisis movement seems as much about vilifying men as about raising 'awareness'" and 2) "But since a multicultural rape charge may indicate nothing more than belated regret, a woman might 'realize' that she had been 'raped' the next day or even many days later." He stated: "More than two decades ago, I co-wrote a book with several insensitive, crudely argued statements. As I've said before, I wish I'd never written those things. I'm sorry for it. Rape in all forms is a crime. I regret writing passages that have been taken to suggest otherwise."

It’s not just resources. It’s usability. Electron apps look and feel out of place to me. I would personally never use one let alone for reading an ePub. I get the point about perfect rendering, but that’s a specific problem I’m personally not worried about.

Is it more than just an ePub reader? You really feel it’s justified to spin-up an electorn app (!!!) to read an ePub? I use Emacs’ nov.el or Foliate which are not only low on resources but also instantaneous to open files.

Oh didn’t know that. Thanks for the tip. I’ve been using this app on Fedora for a while. Will have a look.

These attempt at spinning the discussion is lame. Russia collusion is not a conspiracy, nor the fact that trump is a neonazi sympathizer. Like father like son.

Anyone buying Firefox will make the project instantly irrelevant. It’s not a product, it’s a community. Let alone a predatory, USA based company like amazon.

You "found"? Stats, research notes, facts, data? ... opinions are not facts.
About your selective and misleading choice of fact checked, you know very well it's about the "acid wash" claim, and not about what the republicans did. You don't need a fact checker to know what Trump said about Hilary and the mail server, nor why it was used and perused so relentlessnesly.

The Media Bias fast checker are tracking sites for disinformation. There's a bias. So read it taking that bias into account.

According to the left-leaning watchdog Sourcewatch, Fee has connections to the Koch Brothers. Further, the Least Biased Public Integrity also ties this organization to the Koch Bothers via funding.
