Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic
-
Glad you shared this. I hate to be That Tin Foil Hat Person but it seems really convenient that a Musk and Thiel tied CEO happens to take over the one browser base that isn't Chromium just before people start moving to it for privacy in escalating numbers.

As an Australian.Do not trust us when it comes to privacy, security especially in tech or the digital space.
We are not a nation descendant of 'convicts' but of prison guards and other colonial boot lickers.
We are US lite or US 10years ago or maybe their tearing ground. Can't figure it out.

There's a phrase that is still very close to that in some company statement still, I sort of view it as pointless to talk about. We know they're evil by their actions, and they were evil before they removed it in sure. If the statement is what matters, it's still basically there, just not the motto. It's just not worth worrying or talking about. They do so much worse shit. A friend of mine was recently let go after protesting about their response to the genocide in Gaza.

They said browser.

Yeah don't trust us, we've gutted all forms of STEM that aren't directly related to digging shit out of the ground for Gina Rinehart and co
Serious intellectual brain drain in this country now, we really are the US 10 years ago, hopefully the US explodes enough to stop all our idiots blindly following their jingoism to our doom

Get your ham license and send them by SSTV over the air. Truly decentralized. https://youtu.be/Yak__tnFHKs

McKinsey is honestly scarier. They may not be a household name like the others, but look them up. They are frightening.

Not at the moment, but the Librewolf folks recommend Ironfox.

Aaaand that's why I switched to Brave. If you have shit performance and are selling my data, what's the redeeming quality? 8gb of RAM should be enough to browse the internet. IDK why Firefox insists it isn't....

These are two separate things. Men and women are all human beings and are OF COURSE capable of being shitty or good on the same level. But it's important to give the same opportunity to both, there's no reason one of the sexes should be discriminated against. Women are still not equal in many ways (the exact ways depending on the particular society).

It's even worse. You spent several years worshipping a misguided Corp. making a mediocre browser fir laughable reasons and you have been f*cked in the end.
-
I don't know what is that.
-
please pay me if you want to sell my data.
-
There are at least two projects trying. Ladybird is one and will make a splash next year. In addition, since the Servo project was adopted by the Linux Foundation it is again under active development.
-
It looks as if it's hard to maintain a browser by design by making overly complicated HTML/CSS/Javascript/etc standards.
It makes me want to spend more time using the Gemini protocol.

and the elites will tell you there is no other alternative
That's like blaming wolves for eating you when it's winter, they are hungry and you are in the forest

We are still in a capitalistic. Money still prevails.

Interesting. How's water fox?

We still put a lot of work into making sure that the data that we share with our partners (which we need to do to make Firefox commercially viable) is stripped of any identifying information, or shared only in the aggregate,
Fuck off Mozilla. Maybe don't pay CEOs millions and don't force things like Pocket and LLMs on users if you want to be commercially viable, I'd gladly pay for Firefox that doesn't make me dodge new features and services. But it would be a donation towards development of a browser that is commons, since you have no product to sell, only GPL'd code that's mine as much as yours.
You have NO fucking leverage, Firefox is better than Chrome, but there's projects that will gladly repackage your code with no telemetry whatsoever for any platform while you're brainstorming just the right amount of monetization to prevent the frog from jumping.
It's kind of sad I don't use Chrome and therefore never think of it, while I like and use Firefox and am therefore constantly at odds with Mozilla.

What are you using now?
