What's the story behind this? It sounds interesting.

Vague statement. You have any more information or sources?

"Never been a better time"? What about when IE 6/7 was dominating and Firefox came out with add-ons and speed of updates? I'd argue that was the best time for Firefox.

Reads more like a page designed to funnel you into their product IMO

It's interesting to think how this would have changed some of the things we take for granted today. For example, for production we "minify" our CSS and JS, but Python has enforced whitespace. Would we still have come up with minifying and those on restricted data just take the hit?

Great! I'm glad you figured out a solution that works for you. If you're interested in further hardening your browser I would also suggest looking into Arkenfox. It's a Firefox clone with resist fingerprinting dialled up to 11.

Filebot supports subtitle downloading and programs like Plex & Jellyfin work better when files are named organised according to convention.

The utility of having a well organised media library is more useful to me than the non-issues of downloading subtitles or figuring out quality.

You would probably have to run the hardlink command on the NAS through SSH or something to achieve the same effect but it should still be possible.

I second what another commenter said about hardlinks. I used to use a program (paid) called Filebot that makes this process pretty easy. You download all torrents to say G:/Downloads then drag the files into Filebot and it will search across internet media databases to match the metadata and automatically rename and hardlink the files to say G:/Movies using a format you specify.

For example: G:/Downloads/Movies/Oppenheimer.2023.BluRay.2160p.HDR.MULTi.5.1.AV1.Opus.DVD5-CAV1aR.mkv

to

G:/Movies/Oppenheimer (2023).mkv

Then you can still seed everything in G:/Downloads while having a nicely organised media library. The actual file on disk does not get deleted until all hardlinks have been deleted.

It's not just that but C is also a much simpler language overall. I've always referred to these two blog posts for some interesting points:

Why should I have written ZeroMQ in C, not C++ (part I)
