Why is giving actual feedback to browsers like Brave and Firefox such a miserable experience

Is it just me, or has sending basic feedback/bug reports to browsers like Brave or Firefox become unnecessarily frustrating?

I've used browsers like Opera or Yandex, and whenever you run into an annoying UX flaw or want to suggest a feature, there’s a direct feedback/report option built right into the browser or a clear form on their site. You submit it, you get an automated email with a ticket ID confirming they received it, and an actual staff member eventually replies or routes it to the dev team. Even if support responds with a generic, canned answer, at least you know your message reached a real human and entered the pipeline—which is still miles better than receiving total radio silence.

Meanwhile, with Brave and Firefox, their primary push is to dump you onto a public community forum (Reddit-style). You're forced to create yet another account, jump through categories, and post your issue. Then what happens? Your post sits there with 30 views, zero replies, and gets buried under hundreds of other threads within two days.

It honestly feels like shouting into a void or throwing feedback straight into the recycling bin. Why do users have to turn into forum posters just to submit a feedback?

Does anyone else feel completely turned off by this community-forum-first approach for basic feedback?

variation for suisui

quick question: is R1 Varion enough for Suisui? I could syntonize it up to R3, but I'd prefer not to unless I really have to.

Firefox Android’s one-handed UX needs work (and Mozilla Connect isn't helping)

Posting here because Mozilla Connect feels like a void. I've seen plenty of posts asking for these exact same tweaks over there, but none of them ever seem to get picked up or acknowledged.

Coming from Opera, I was honestly shocked by how poor the ergonomic design and UX/UI are on Firefox. Are they just running on an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mindset?

Firefox on Android has two major ergonomic flaws regardless of screen size:

  1. Enabling the Tab Bar forces the address bar to the top. There's no reason we shouldn't have both at the bottom (Opera does this perfectly). Pushing it back up defeats the whole point of bottom navigation.
  2. Tab Switcher lacks intuitive swipe gestures. Reaching all the way up just to close tabs in grid or list view is awkward. A simple swipe-to-close gesture (like app switchers or Opera) would fix this instantly.

Both come down to basic one-handed usability. Anyone else frustrated by this layout design?

AMD really needs to bring back the 5700X3D

Ever since AMD discontinued the Ryzen 7 5700X3D, prices have gone completely crazy. Due to low stock and retailer price-gouging, its price has shot up by 30% to 50% in many regions. In my country, the situation is getting so ridiculous that a 5700X3D sometimes costs almost as much as a 7800X3D on sale.

Upgrading to AM5 is still a tough pill to swallow for budget builders because DDR5 RAM remains way too expensive. For anyone already on the AM4 platform, the 5700X3D was the ultimate drop-in upgrade to extend their PC's lifespan. Now, with these inflated prices, the "budget" appeal of staying on AM4 is completely gone.

AMD recently launched the 5800X3D Anniversary Edition to revive this lineup, but supply is incredibly limited, and scalpers have already driven prices through the roof.

Nvidia did something similar by bringing back the RTX 3060 when the memory market got weird. AMD could totally do the same here to capture the budget market and keep AM4 alive while DDR5 prices remain high.

What do you guys think? Would you pick one up if it came back at its original MSRP, or are you just going to save up and make the jump to AM5/DDR5 instead?

6900xt to 7800xt

I want to trade my 6900 XT plus around 110 usd for a Nitro+ 7800 XT since I heard FSR 4.1 is coming to RDNA 3 in July. Would that be a good idea, or should I just wait until early 2027?

I know the performance difference is non existent, but my current ASUS TUF 6900 XT used to be a crypto mining card, so it's pretty old and worn out, with lots of scuff marks and rust here and there, while the Nitro+ 7800 XT is still under warranty until 10/2027.
