I can vouch for Vivaldi (as recommended by the article). Its pretty good.

Haven't tried Librewolf yet, still using good old Firefox

I know this is not for everyone, but may I suggest you to try Hoyoverse games?

Since they are designed to be played both on desktop and mobile, the game play session can be short but still meaningful.

At least this is what I do. I still play other indie games but Hoyoverse really made be forget the need to buy "AAA" games that are designed to waste players' time.

Well, Mastodon is still up and running. And people can always migrate.

That's what I don't understand about the "executives". They seem to hate the idea of paying people when they might actually save more money by treating employees well.

Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake (www.theverge.com)
 

The tech demo is part of Microsoft’s Copilot for Gaming push, and features an AI-generated replica of Quake II that is playable in a browser. The Quake II level is very basic and includes blurry enemies and interactions, and Microsoft is limiting the amount of time you can even play this tech demo.

“You could imagine a world where from gameplay data and video that a model could learn old games and really make them portable to any platform where these models could run,” said Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer in February. “We’ve talked about game preservation as an activity for us, and these models and their ability to learn completely how a game plays without the necessity of the original engine running on the original hardware opens up a ton of opportunity.”

I have no idea what an AI generated version of quake has to do with game "preservation" when there are so many better ways to improve old games accessibility. But hey, at least we can burn more forest while playing AI Quake!!

You can try this AI Quake for yourself: https://copilot.microsoft.com/wham

Its very laggy for me but maybe someone with faster computer can make it work? Anyway I am not sure if people think its worth it.
