    Yeah, that’s pretty pedantic. xD

    Text emoji is kaomoji, which is the Eastern branch of emoticons, so you’re right, technically it wouldn’t generally include o7, but that’s kinda splitting hairs.

    You’re also right, o7 has more broad uses than F, but they do both get used in a usually tongue-in-cheek “condolences” manner. So you can almost always use o7 in the place of F, but not necessarily the other way around.

    “o7” is a saluting text emoji. The ‘o’ represents a head, and the ‘7’ is a raised arm. It’s usually used in internet culture when a fictional character dies, or when one dies in a video game.

    Similarly, there’s the “Press F to pay respects” meme, which appeared as a quick time event in a video game cut scene (Call of Duty, I think?), and was adopted into sarcastic use by the internet, so “F” and “o7” are kinda used interchangeably.

    Asides from the kinda-shady crypto stuff and the other things that’ve already been mentioned, just philosophically it should be kinda evident that over-concentration on one corporate controlled rendering engine isn’t a good thing. Google wants the internet to be a walled garden with themselves as the sole decision makers so they can stuff ads down your throat.

    Gecko’s web compat is bad largely because of this over-concentration.

    That is the default behaviour, but it’s pretty trivial to change. Also, I’d imagine the distro maintainer could choose to change the default settings as part of a post-install script, if they wanted to.

    Edit: Not sure why you’re being downvoted, as I do think it’s a valid concern.
