Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic
-
They have also had this issue open for 20 years.
And this amounts to just allowing the user to specify a different directory for Firefox on Linux (~/.mozilla is terrible).
Frankly unacceptable.
-
Don't forget the CEO's worst crime: he's the inventor of javascript
-
You said android device, they said browser. You're not being very clear about what your point is. I have Firefox on my Android phone.
-
I don't like this but it's gonna take more for me to switch. I am very happy with Firefox for my use-case and workflow it works really well. However I think they are shooting themselves in the foot by starting to take away some of the most crucial advantages with Firefox compared to Chrome. I mean if both are awful for privacy then why use Firefox?
-
Make sense since they receive funding from Google, Google might be demanding too much or removing funding
-
A lot of these browsers seems to be obsessed with AI that nobody wants.
-
Tor/Mullvad are the only acceptable options if you genuinely want the best for your privacy. Mullvad browser is a bit less of a hassle than Tor but not by much.
If adamant about staying away from Gecko (Firefox) and Chromium browsers then WebKit forked browsers are sort of the last options. It's not looking great right now, my dudes.

I read somewhere that women CEO are often chosen when the company is declining or about to fail, as a way to take the blame off from themselves
-
It's a browser, not a platform. Having a bunch of groypers use it doesn't ruin the experience for everyone else so long as it retains good privacy features.
-
There are different kinds of free. Free beer, free speech and free weekend are three different kinds of free that software can have, but not necessarily at the same time.
-
Probably caving into googles demands
-
And what they say about being commercially viable is true, they can't die on this hill. It means death of complete privacy either way.
-
How does Mullvad work on legacy websites? Never heard a Dev say they tested for anything other than chrome, safari, edge & firefox
-
My thoughts as well, there is always another option
-
iOS browsers are all just skins around the safari engine.
-
Clearly not someone you can trust.
-
If Firefox is losing its footing as a privacy focused browser then where do we go? If your on Mac maybe Safari?

Mozilla are a non profit organisation. Their recent blog post says that they will invest in advertising to increase short-term revenue that they need to "grow". The blog goes on to talk about the increase in board members, and new leaders being added. The CEO and these new leaders are highly paid...
To me this looks bad. It looks to me that Mozilla's new leaders have pushed out the old; and are now moving towards advertising and selling user data not because they need it to stabilise and survive, but because they need it to pay the people making the decision to burn trust and reputation. It has become a top-heavy organisation, and greed has seeped in.
A few people will be self-enriched by this, and then the orgasation will be weaker as a result.

Yea I would say Usa stem is pretty neglected in some ways too, mostly the lack of career development in uni, sure you can find internships but those are rare and often hard to get for stem, additionally wet lab work is a must before graduation, and often times professors re refuse to even talk about it, because they have burned by flakey students. And it's very limited space as well. Let's not get started at the MS and PhD levels, whole another can of worms.
