Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic
-
I'm sorry, but first of all Mozilla actually employs developers. And the development process isn't just the developers' salaries. There's R&D, QA, management, administration, accounting. All of these cost money, and this isn't even touching on the expenses associated with offices (electricity, general upkeep, maintenance).
Then there's the costs associated with packaging the binaries, hosting the binaries, bandwidth...
Even if you're giving everyone a miser's pay, and getting cheaper unreliable hosting, it adds up
-
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.
