    The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

    Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

      Glowie, also known as a Glown****, is a slang term popular on 4chan's /pol/ board used in reference to CIA or other governmental agents posing as ordinary 4chan users in order to bait others into sharing incriminating information.

      In 2017, schizophrenic computer programmer Terry Davis, known for his TempleOS software that he claimed was dictated to him by God and meant to be God's third temple, made a video showing off various aspects of TempleOS. In the video, Terry says, "The CIA n*****s glow in the dark, you can see them if you're driving. You just run them over, that's what you do."

      The term "glow in the dark" refers to the obvious nature of their camouflage, leaving them exposed when they're trying to hide in the shadows.

      In fairness to Brave CEO I did not know it had racist origins and only thought it referred to the last paragraph.

      That's the problem with racist bullshit. They scrape the racism off and peddle it everywhere until it's widely accepted and not tied to it's roots anymore.

              I understood what he said. Strip out some rude terms and it sounds accurate. The comments here sound like someone shouted “squirrel” to a pack of rabid dogs.

              I also lack common sense and am posting this comment. In my feeble defense I really don’t know the guy, and suspect he likes baiting others

                  I think Waterfox looks pretty great and works well for me. Not sure how different it is from Firefox Mobile itself since I switched from Chrome to Waterfox directly, but assume Firefox probably looks pretty similar.

                        Which is accurate? It reads like an unhinged paranoid conspiracist. Do you think Geroge Soros runs mozilla? Do you think it's being controlled by federal agents?

                              Are you sure? You can't just lie on the internet. Who would lie on the internet? Is it even possible to lie on the internet? I don't think it is.

                                      The original op took some things out of context, Ford, last I checked, was not a bastion of the left. He names big donors.

                                      Then he describes how that money trickles down; and the last I checked the not so polite description is more accurate than not.

                                      I don’t mind people bashing bad guys here; and I’m sure this fellow has spent years raiding your hackles. But some people like me, it’s just embarrassing to read

                                        You said it "sounds accurate" then complained about people's criticism of it. You didn't actually give any detail about what's accurate about it or try to explain it in terms that aren't "rude".

                                        So my reading comprehension is fine, it's just your ability to actually explain what it is you agree with (in terms that aren't "rude") is lacking.

                                          The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

                                          Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

                                          For those looking for alternatives, there are a number Firefox forks such as Mullvad and Librewolf and then there's Chromium and it's various forks (just avoid Edge and, now, sadly, Brave)
