I wish more software companies had a core value of “every user created bit is sacred.”

Storage is cheap enough that this attitude is possible.

But I guess keeping all of your designers aware of it across thousands of teams is too hard.

> every user created bit is sacred

They only care about the bits they can sell to advertisers. Actual user data is only a burden to them, and occasional data loss is not a big deal.

As usual, user are not making them paying the price for being badly treated. Software companies do this because they can get away with it, that's it.

Even on HN many people can't be arse to use Firefox, how could we expect anyone to avoid giants like Microsoft?

Sadly Firefox has been utter garbage for me the last few months, routinely hangs for me on 3 different machines across two different OSes.

Running out of options these days

Sounds like an extension acting up. Haven't noticed any issues on my devices.
