Hi! I’m Katherine, or webkitten. I’ve been on the internet since our family got our first computer - a Tandy Sensation.

Yes, I went to computer camp as a kid and learned how to program BASIC on Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 4.

I’m trans, queer, and bisexual. #actuallyautistic

I started programming with PHP in the mid 90s and haven’t stopped. I’m an advocate for the open web; I used Netscape as long as I can remember.

I have an obsession with Hello Kitty, Moogles, and Squishmallows.

    I use Fennec and Nightly on Android, mostly because of extensions. On desktop, I’ve been using Vivaldi.

    Personally I feel that XUL Gecko > Vivaldi Chromium > Current Gecko. Especially since Vivaldi’s built in tracker and ad blocker is really good and Chromium feels much smoother than current Gecko. I do hate that it’s propping up Chromium market-share, but at least I can set up Vivaldi to use their own custom user agent.

    I feel that Gecko/Firefox lost so much with the switch away from XUL and to WebExtensions.
