This is a good thread. I’ve never heard of Pale Moon before and will try that on our Windows 7 machines.

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned is the Mozilla email client, Thunderbird. I’ve used Firefox and Thunderbird for years on both Linux and Windows computers. For the moment, I have switched to the “unbranded” Debian versions of those for Linux (Icedove and Iceweasel). For a more complete break, I will also look at Claws mail (again, Linux only). All of these email clients are compatible with openPGP encryption which I use a lot.

The unfortunate thing is that the mess that Mozilla has made really reflects badly on the entire free software movement as they all share much the same “values.”

In the longer term, I’ll wait to see where Eich lands. I’m sure he’ll be doing something interesting. The fact that he stuck to his principles says volumes.

All these silicon valley companies share the same "culture" as far as I can tell. Mozilla just got caught out at it.

If there is a browser firm out there who will explicitly stand by an executive who supports traditional marriage, please show me. I will switch to their product at once.

Until then I see no need to drop Mozilla for another company that enforces the PC dogma in a less public way.

Can you explain “Thunderbird”? I have e-mail addresses at work, g-mail and aol mail.
Does Thunderbird use a unique @***?
Does Thunderbird route all my different mail addresses?
