Quit Firefox Today
Wuli | July 18, 2020 | Wuli

I just quit using Firefox today.

They added a new blurb at the bottom of a blank Firefox page.

It said: "We have a lot of work to do to dismantle systemic racism. One way to start is by listening to Black writers and thought leaders."

Then it had a link to "resources".

https://blog.getpocket.com/2020/07/what-were-reading-the-fight-for-racial-equity-justice-and-black-lives/?utm_source=desktop-snippet&utm_medium=snippet&utm_campaign=pocket-q3-2020&utm_term=23824&utm_content=REL

Of course none of the "resources" were black writers we know who disagree with the ideology and premises of "Black Lives Matter" and the Marxists backing them.

For now I will use Brave.

If you can handle the install, IceCat is the Firefox browser without Mozilla and their bloat ware and SJW

I’ve been using Firefox for years. I’m using it now. I’ve never seen anything like that.

That blurb’s been on mine for well over a week. I ignore it. I also refuse to click on it and hope others do the same. Eye-roll optional.

Yup, Firefox has bent over and become Firebutt.
They’re outta here.

“Thought leaders”? Is that a fancy name for “chief brain washers”? Or “overlords”?
It sure as hell doesn’t allow for independent thinking, does it?

I think they are under attack or something. My firefox is not doing searches. I usually use Brave, but for some things I have to use FF.

I was a Firefox user until 7-8 months ago. Switched to Brave...a very good decision. Give it a try.

Almost all websites have glaring crap about BLM. One cannot stop living and I think if we did enough research we would find 99% of the companies we use we would have some such nonsense. It is what it is..

I certainly respect what you did though. as for me I am giving up one of the few real loves in my life. The NFL. That’s enough for me

So you quit Firefox for being late to the self congratulation party? Everybody else has been doing something similar for months.

I had never seen it, before. But I hit the “+” button to open a new tab. I scrolled to the bottom and that is one of the random messages that appear.

Not seeing the blurb on the Linux Firefox distro, if it pops up then off it goes.

I rarely check my old LinkedIn account, but recently I logged in and they wanted me to connect with a bunch of black people because they’re black. First one on the list was LeVar Burton! Kunta Kinte the fake slave from Roots!
