  • In future versions of #firefox even attempting to just search something results in #mozilla spamming Firefox users with ads disguised as "suggestions". Firefox is not an ALTERNATIVE to "big tech" but an extension or integral part of the problem; it works for Microsoft, Google etc.

  • #gnu #linux distros need to start removing #mozilla #firefox as default Web browser or preinstalled browser. It's partly proprietary, it pushes DRM, and it does very malicious things (more of them over time). GNU/Linux has better and safer Web browsers now. Firefox is pure nostalgia now. It's run by deeply unethical morons now http://techrights.org/2021/08/05/lousy-mozilla-management/

  • #mozilla is a reminder that bad hiring decisions, esp. for top-level roles, can doom companies and their previously good products. I miss the old #firefox with loads of extensions and a positive spirit rather than shallow, at times misleading, rhetoric
