MozillaFoundation &mdash; Bruno's ramblings https://infosec.press/brunomiguel/tag:MozillaFoundation A blog where I ramble about... well... stuff.

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? #Mozilla #MozillaFoundation #Firefox #TechBro #FOSS #OpenSource]]> 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?
