• Never use Firefox/Mozilla Pocket. It should be renamed PACKET because it sends loads of packets with personal data about you... to a mother ship controlled by GAFAM and its THREE-LETTER agency kinship. Firefox is, technically speaking, _mostly_ open source spyware or OSPS.    

posted Saturday, December 23, 2023 at 14:14:58

posted Saturday, December 23, 2023 at 14:15:38

• Saying you can make a Firefox that does not spy on the user (LibreWolf) is a bit like arguing in favour of child marriage or incest (or both). Mozilla is acting more like a cult, not a real company, certainly not like a bunch of honest grown-ups. They hired too many rogues from disinformation companies.    

posted Saturday, December 23, 2023 at 14:17:53

• What have GNU/Linux and BSD OSes have to lose by preloading LibreWolf instead of Firefox? Heck, Ubuntu had "abrowser" and Debian had "IceWeasel". Mozilla will never learn or improve until it sheds off some "products" (how they view Firefox users) to spy on.    

posted Saturday, December 23, 2023 at 14:19:11

• Firefox is not even a Web browser anymore. It's a webapp runtime, akin to VM, that uses HTTP/S sockets for downstream/upstream. Why would people choose this over applications that run natively (locally, offline)? Fetishism?

• Firefox was already 'reinventing' itself as MEDIA PLAYER when it signed a SOFTWARE PATENT agreement with MPEG-LA over a decade ago. Firefox is NOT a browser, it's a bloated application that can ALSO render actual Web pages. ALSO.

• They said Netscape lost its way when Navigator added Communicator and page composition, but nowadays Firefox is more or less the same. Their built-in non-extensions that you cannot remove are not what _most_ users really needed. They removed RSS features, such as Live Bookmarks, based on 'telemetry' data they got from spyware they installed on people's PCs (it is called "Firefox").

posted Saturday, December 23, 2023 at 14:24:56

• Firefox even stopped signalling that a page you are on has an RSS feed (or feeds). Little by little, gradual elimination. This totally seems like something Gulag Inc. asked Mozilla to do and Mitchel, with Andy Rubin's thingie in her mouth, said or mumbled "OK". Not only did Mozilla stop fighting for the open Web. It actively works to break it, speaking/spewing lies from the other side of the mouth.

First they made all the useful extensions incompatible ('obsolete') and now they just strip off useful features from the core too. No "SECURITY" reasons for this! The rendering engine is by FAR your weakest link and it is inherited from the WEBAPP RUNTIME some people call a "Web browser" (Firefox).
