Because libre office is not compatible with many others. You can open it sure but there’s no guarantee that opening .doc or .docx will have broken formatting. Not good for those in the academia or workplace where formatting are strictly enforce.

Why is there a SEARCH bar next to the bar where you can search anyway?

Muscle memory I guess. I associate the main bar with typing in websites. While the smaller one for search. That’s how I’ve been doing it for years.

The icons are pinned tabs using sideberry and CSS from r/FirefoxCSS

Ehh. Different strokes, I guess. Too much minimalism for me becomes extra step. Like if remove the search bar, I would have to type in duckduckgo.com everytime I need to search. Without the pinned icons, I would have to type gmail everytime, for example. Firefox is my secondary desktop and I treat those icons as kind of like a mini app. :)

Speaking as someone who's mostly on a laptop screen, that thing is big. When at home (which doesn't happen a lot these days), I connect my laptop to a more modest Xiaomi 1C Monitor 23.8 Inch. I am not a techie so I'm not sure what I can use a vertical monitor for though.

I used sidebery and edited the userchrome.css using guides from r/FirefoxCSS

here's some guides for them:

But for reference, here are the codes for them (since Reddit appears to be down at the time of this writing)

I'm in the same boat. I started with Diablo 2 way back in elementary days. I never expected to play the same games as I do now. I still play generals, RA2 and Starcraft 2. Back to Diablo 2, I still play the same necromancer that I used to play. Maybe it's nostalgia or maybe there's really something in those games that made us keep coming back. Maybe it's the microtransactions rampant in today's games. Or the ack of "soul". But here we are, still playing the old games.
