The biggest surprise, however, was that the project, named Tofino, will not use Firefox's core technology – Gecko – but will instead plumb for Electron, which is built on the technology behind Google's Chrome browser, called Chromium.
And there's the reason. OK, it works for Google, because they know how to work it. Having had my fun with GitHub - cefsharp/CefSharp: .NET (WPF and Windows Forms) bindings for the Chromium Embedded Framework I wasn't particularly impressed, especially when Chrome updated its browser and it broke CefSharp running in a window on the client software. Sure, updating the CefSharp build fixed it right away, but really? Why are the two even entangled?
So, there's FM going on in Google, and I wouldn't trust Firefox to have provided all the right ingredients in the witches brew and said all the correct incantations with the right pronunciation and inflections.

Alright.. my guess.. not 100% sure, but...
consanguinity = related by blood = a close affinity
con = against
sanguin = sanguine without the end = blood red
it = "it girl" = sexy in text-speak ??
y = question
god knows where the herald fits in...
|
|
|
|
|
Well done sir, well done indeed.
The herald part fits in because sanguine (as blood red) comes from heraldry.

No doubt OG got there half an hour ago - but I'm sure he'll be sanguine about it!

I had the same answer - but I couldn't justify the ITY bit.
Anyway - you have the whole weekend to come up with a good one!

I completely forgot. I try not to win these things just so I don't have to remember to do a clue . Give me a couple of minutes to come up with something.

Reading it may keep me occupied for a while, I may even have a go, but don't wait for my answer.

I know the feeling - I have to set a Google Calendar reminder or I'd forget as well...

Quite. I try not to win because I don't want to show off

Yes, an infant on the lap may dampen your spirits.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

I think I got it - but I posted yesterdays so I'll let others have a go for a couple of hours.

The last 3 letters I'm not sure of - the "sexy texts a question" doesn't seem to fit the letters I have - but the rest looks right.

A couple of hours, how about a couple of days.

I think I do too - but like you I can't figure out all the bits...

Can you lot post some stuff to keep me entertained awake.
The Mugabe "Joke" doesn't cut it I'm afraid.

What do you want? I could post you a disgruntled cat - he's sick, but thinks he's fine because of the meds so he can't go out and that is making my life difficult.

Hope he gets fully well soon. Perhaps you could make a cat video and post it on YouTube with a link. Cat videos are always entertaining aren't they?

I think there are enough cat video on YouTube.
Any more and it will implode in a shower of furry pixels.
He'll be a few days, with luck. Took him to the vet yesterday, and he's got a temperature of 40.5C, which is well hot for a cat. Another degree or so and you start to get organ damage. Still, that explains the lack of interest in food, and lethargy. Original thought was a urinary tract infection from a uric acid blocked urethra (he hadn't peed since Monday) but a quick dose of broad spectrum AB's with an injection of Ibuprofen to bring his temp down and he eats and pees like a horse. Which is good news: he doesn't need to be "unplugged", and he objected quite enough to the thermometer up his ass, thank you...
Trouble is that the lower temp means he feels fine, but he's still fighting the infection (whatever it is) so he needs to be kept in for a couple of days. This is not his idea of fun.
