ThunderMail from Mozilla can't come soon enough. For all the shit they get, every controversy they've ever had has boiled down to a comms issue. They've been consistent for decades and I trust them, even if they often…
Orion? No, the closest thing to Arc in Zen. I don't believe that's up for debate -- nothing else has the same level of feature parity.
Interesting to see how this has evolved. Mozilla had conducted a detailed investigation on this topic by carmaker a few years ago: https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/blog/privacy-nightmare-...
There is a weird standard Mozilla is held to that doesn't exist even for other privacy-minded companies. There is also a layer of hypocrisy when people beg for Mozilla to generate greater revenue diversity, but then an…
Gosh, Pale Moon? That browser is a security nightmare IIRC.
I'm personally fine with that. Mozilla Corporation (Firefox) remains the largest part of Mozilla. As the cash cow, it will always receive what it needs, but it will also act as the vehicle for funding possible avenues…
This is ridiculous. Not only does Mozilla support BYOM with Smart Window, but do we seriously expect your average user to be able to locally run it with ease? Imagine for a moment the complaints that would arise the…
You guys are awesome, thank you.
I would throw serious money at them both if this collaboration happened.
This is the exact approach Mozilla has taken to Firefox with the AI "killswitch". It has been well received.
Well, both League of Legends and Minecraft come from 2009 and remain incredibly popular -- so who says you'll be stuck in the past?
While I remain anxious about the dystopian future AI may ultimately deliver to us, this has been a clear silver lining in my eyes. I have an old Wyze Scale that restricts advanced features behind a proprietary mega-app,…
Yes, you!
Using web apps on Firefox really is the way given its support for uBlock Origin. Screen real estate is precious on phones, so being able to permanently block "Install our app!" and even entire navigation categories…
People have been saying this forever. It will never happen. Republicans and Democrats alike love Social Security. All that needs to be done to fix it is raise the cap.
They did end up releasing Windows Subsystem for Android via the Windows Insider Program, which was enough for the OSS community to take it over after it was abandoned. It still exists and has worked quite well for my…
Everyone properly informed on the topic now understands the Mozilla ToS debacle was a complete nothing burger and simply a result of California law, miscommunication, and Mozilla being careful. Not one thing changed in…
No, Mozilla is a non-profit -- you may just misunderstand charitable structure optimization. It has a for-profit public-benefit subsidiary called Mozilla Corporation (Firefox). This is common in non-profits for a number…
Sometimes you make decisions based on principle and future risk. Brave Software is a for-profit company that funded its start through Peter Thiel. Even if fine in the present, you cannot guarantee me the future of a…
From what I know personally, Firefox truly is responsible with user data. Though -- to steel man your point -- all the data Firefox sells is through their subsidiary Anonym, which goes through great lengths to anonymize…
I use Instagram on Android because it's heavily modified and stripped to its bare essentials just for responding to friends. Prior to this I used the web app. If those two disappeared I would be done.
Honestly, I strongly disagree. I've played a wide breadth of games, and I can't think of a game studio the size of Riot that is as community-engaged and pro-consumer. Examples range from the quality of their patch…
It's frustrating because I truly believe they are well-meaning, honest actors. Every single "controversy" surrounding Mozilla can be directly attributed to miscommunication rather than malice. They do often struggle to…
Firefox and its derivatives remain the only true alternative at this point.
What a horrifying concept.
