Biggest problem I had with Void, was that the musl libc support wasn't as good as Alpine.

This is because Void gives you the choice between glibc and musl. Therefore the team spreads themselves thin trying to support both. So some packages for Void musl are unavailable.

I use it and it works quite fine! Just a few differences you need to learn, all of which are noted on their concise wiki. It's best to think of Arch as the fallback distro, therefore all other information is obtained from the Arch wiki as normal.

I am using Artix right now. Arch with no systemd. It has it own repos with -s6 -runit and -openrc packages, and uses the Arch repos for fallback.

It's been pretty smooth sailing just a few slight quirks you need to keep in mind. Would suggest checking it out if you get a chance.

The intention isn't to replace HTTP entirely. By using an incompatible protocol, a hard line is drawn.

Maybe it would, slightly. But would it make the browser anymore complicated then the unessential features that Firefox has in its default build right now?

Pocket integration, FF Sync, some screenshot function?

The web is so broken that my Firefox even has some Protection Dashboard thing (about:protections). Not that I've ever used or noticed it before.

> Building separate protocols for all the various use-cases of the web would be interesting, but would still need some interconnection.

Whilst using Castor, www urls would auto-open in Firefox, and the other way around.
