It's also ridiculous from portability perspective — who cares if your software is cross-platform, who cares if even Rust is — you can only build it on platforms that Google cares to support. I mean, you can always cross-build — but that makes building it even more complicated, I've even cross-compiled Firefox with xbps in Void, but to me it looks like tremendous job was put into making it work and I'm not even sure all the platforms are still supported 😩

I remember the days when to build early versions of Firefox (and the whole Mozilla suite too) you just had to run the "configure" script, then "make" — just like every other software. V8 didn't even exist. 64 megs of RAM was okay and with 512 you could never ever close any tabs. We can't do any new things with computers nowadays, everything just got slower and more bloated.
