Firefox

I think Mozilla might have a 'tech-bro' infestation that also doubles as a 'business-bro' infestation. I was skeptical of the latter, but after exchanging a few messages with someone on the Fediverse, I'm inclined to include it, too.

All this nonsense they've been doing for a few years now is indicative of this type of infestation:

  • AI plans;
  • buying an Ad company;
  • removing info about not selling users' data;
  • applying Terms of Service to their distributed Firefox binaries;
  • continued Firefox usage decline;
  • massive bonuses and/or pay increases for executives;
  • all those failed projects, too many to list;
  • etc, etc, etc...

It feels like Mozilla is walking back on promises made. What the actual fuck, Mozilla Foundation?

I just stumbled on an article titled โ€œIn 2024, please switch to Firefoxโ€, which offers three compelling reasons for you to switch to Firefox. Being a Firefox user since it was called Phoenix or Firebird (I don't recall which one was the first one I used), I can say it's a terrific browser.

Don't worry. You can import your bookmarks, history, and passwords from your current browser into Firefox.
