Because measurements confirm a homogeneous and isotopic universe. A spherical universe would imply a special point, the center, which would go against these cosmological principals.
Could be a universe that folds in on itself in multidimensional space so that every point looks like the center. But it almost certainly isn’t a 3d sphere.
That's something I was thinking a lot about back when I was working on Servo. Wasm + a protocol to talk to WebRender (expose display lists [0] to the wasm runtime). Some sort of "mini web", a minimal runtime that would do just enough that most web APIs could be re-implemented and shipped from the webpage directly. The DOM, the CSS parser, the layout engine, … could just be shipped as wasm modules.
Kind of defeat the purpose of view-source, but nowadays, it's a lost battle already.
And I didn't think too much about sandboxing, accessibility, network or whatnot. Just a fun idea…
But… the 3.6 -> 4.0 release was just such a pain. We spent more than a year trying to cram too many features in v4.
Clearly feature-based releases were just not cutting it, especially as Chrome was shipping new versions fast.
For the longest time people were saying it was the wrong move, but really - that was absolutely necessary, and proved out to be the right thing to do. The Stable / Beta / Alpha ("aurora", was that the name?) channels massively improved our yield :)

I detested Firefox from v4 onwards and finally got off the crazytrain at 12.
Other than the version numbering becoming vapid, the browser itself became vapid. No longer was Firefox about the users, it was about Mozilla.
That has remained the case to this day, and I have not bought a ticket to this day. I'm not counting the first ticket as a purchase since it was forced on me.
I'm hopping between the Pale Moon space station and (begrudgingly) the Chromium train now depending on what I'm doing.
Atuin has encrypted sync, that'll be a big difference.
I've used mcfly for years and I appreciate the hard work cantino has put into it, but mcfly is currently looking for a maintainer while the maintainer of Atuin has recently committed to doing so full time (https://ellie.wtf/posts/i-quit-my-job-to-work-full-time-on-m...). That may make a difference to some people considering which one to pick.
Both are implemented in Rust and use SQLite as storage, so both should be equally performant in terms of startup latency and storage capacity.
The ctrl+R UI of each is different but that comes down to personal taste.
I just tried to use atuin... I have to login, but I don't want to :( I tried to run a search locally... but I have to run a PostgreSQL server??? Why isn't it just allowing embedded DB like mcfly? I know this isn't the place for support, but I give up trying to get it to work :(
I'll also plug my project [0] as another alternative that supports syncing (similar to Autumn) and also has a number of powerful customization features (e.g. custom columns to collect arbitrary metadata with each command, like the git remote) and an AI shell command generator.
> The key feature of McFly is smart command prioritization powered by a small neural network that runs in real time. The goal is for the command you want to run to always be one of the top suggestions.

Good old time.
