@Purism Firefox's "containers" for Facebook and other sites would be good to add to the Librem 5 so apps could be containerized so one app couldn't get access to another apps data

@gme @Purism won't the #Librem5 be running #Purism #GNU-Linux, not #Android-Linux? Are the #Firefox containers a thing on #GNU OS?

@strypey @gme @Purism they are using gnome web

@mooshoe @strypey @Purism well that sucks. it's a mediocre phone at best. they'll need something to differentiate themselves from the 1000s of other phones on the market.

@gme @strypey @Purism i mean havent they already done that by making a gnu linux phone

@mooshoe @strypey @Purism I don't see that as a strength actually. If I can't find the apps I want to use on my phone then it's useless to me. Going with Gnome Web as opposed to say Android is going to prove to be a fatal mistake. Firefox was betting on the browser app ecosystem - and they were right - but even that wasn't enough. So unless they hit the ground running with the apps users want nobody is going to buy this and it will have all been for nothing. Even the FreedomPhone runs Android.

@gme @strypey @Purism i disagree, this phone is basically a real computer with a mobile shell and that's enough functionality for a lot of foss people. I mean, if you like your WhatsApp and Snapchat you can stick with your iphone but for the others...
