Firefox 109 brings manifest v3 support
What are we talking about?
Maniwhat, now? Version who?
2018, Google proposes Manifest v3.
July 2019, The EFF notes.
Then in September of 2019, Firefox responded to the Manifest v3 announcement.
April 2020, Vivaldi, with version 3.0, debuts its ad and tracker blocker as a means to bypass the manifest v3 issue altogether.
Brave had always had an ad blocker, but beefed up its performance and ability in 2019.
November 2020, Google finalizes and publishes Manifest v3.
December 2021, The EFF reminds us.
uBlock Origin Lite exists.

Gecko Linux the History
GeckoLinux
openSUSE
November 13, 2015, the first release of GeckoLinux 421.15.1113.6 was announced
Explaining the version number
In December 2015, alongside Cinnamon, XFCE, Gnome and Budgie were added. In addition a BareBones edition. And a few days later Plasma, Mate, and LXQt get their first ISOs
SUSE Studio Express
Budgie put on ice for a while.
Pantheon is added. AND the Budgie ROLLING and NEXT editions make a return.
A vote for which default filesystem was held with btrfs winning. The same vote, but for the STATIC edition was held.
Static will have a sunset in the future due to the change in LEAP
Since that has happened yet GeckoLinux released after 15.4

It was a great thread. Bottom line is, use what you like, no shame in doing so. Even if it isn't Linux we hope you enjoy and find some value in what we are doing here.
On "Where does the non-distro history go next?"
Johnny, one of our fantastic patrons, gave a thumbs up to our mention of desktop environments and how often these histories would come out.
He said "Hi, I vote for quality over quantity. I also vote for Leo's favorite, the history of XFCE! :D"
On the Community that hasn't been Toxic?
Youtube/Sigma: Nice content

Youtube/Sigma: because I actually think it's super underrated
LUS: Now you're making us blush 😊 This is the type of thing that gives us the energy to keep going.
