Mozilla earned approximately 80% of its income through “revenue-sharing” deals with Google, pushing Google’s search engine as Firefox’s default choice.
Now that Google faces antitrust investigations for this practice, Mozilla and Firefox may suffer a concomitant reduction in revenues.
So what does Mozilla do? They “rebrand” themselves as “advocates” and “activists,” fighting “misinformation.”
Among other marketing gobbledygook at this website, Mozilla’s rebranding director describes her client as “a trailblazing, activist organization in both its mission and its approach…. The new brand presence captures this uniqueness, reflecting Mozilla’s refreshed strategy to ‘reclaim the internet.’ The modern, digital-first identity system is all about building real brand equity that drives innovation, acquisition and stands out in a crowded market.”
This, after already laying off 30% of their staff last month and dropping their “advocacy division”!
In light of all the forgoing, some Mozilla genius also thought it’d be a great idea to go forward with kumbaya-onemind conferences in the Netherlands and Zambia.
For years I’ve relied on Firefox because of its operability across both Mac and Linux OSes— after switching out the default search engine, natch. But any browser that claims to fight “misinformation,” presumably by blocking those whose facts/opinions it disagrees with, is no longer a viable choice.
Yup.
Mozilla will join the ranks of dinosaur media.
Seems to be a bit snappier.
Yes!
Brave is a GREAT alternative.
The Logo is Mozilla bending over to Bill Gates ,LOL
Karma!
This is the company that drove their CEO Brendan Eich ( developer of the popular browser language JavaScript ) out because he contributed ( privately) to a California referendum initiative defining marriage as between one man and one woman. He didn’t even make a big deal of his contribution but someone discovered it and leaked it to the world.
Eich went on to develop the much better ( in my opinion ) internet browser — BRAVE.
Mozilla deserves everything their woke board gets.
I have used Brave now for a few years after FireFox outing as Woke. Brave is great. I’ve used their VPN - very good.
It’s not ‘really Chrome’ - Google separated out their ‘Chromium Engine’ a number of years back and it’s public domain - Brave and Microsoft’s Edge and Google Chrome are based on it. But yes, Brave does a great job of being NOT Google.
Btw, I haven’t tried their Talk, but another engineer said it’s way better than MS or Zoom - maybe a little bit less smooth as Google’s Meet.
This is simple. If you are my political enemy, if you believe in things that I see as hateful and destructive of the family and of normal life, then I don't want to give you any money... ever.
I want you driven out of business and destroyed as an entity.
However, the best Chromium-based browser IMO is Vivaldi, and you can enable multiple tab rows on that, as you can for Firefox via various instructions, none of which are official options.
I found that The Patcher works well (though FF updates sometimes broke it, thus needing an update) for MTRs'.
However, Floorp (written by Japanese students) enables this as a feature (preferences>design). See review here.
And with Floorp, I found you can run multiple installations of it (which you can with portable Firefox with a little editing, as I do, each generally for its own purpose). Thank God for such options.
Sorry for size)
By the grace of God, I have 128GB RAM on a MSI b450 Pro mobo (+ RYzen 3200G) which easily runs two Bible programs, 2 word pros and multiple docs, 8 portable installs of FF, 2 of Vivladi, 2 of Floorp, browsers each for its own general purpose) all with multiple tab rows. Thanks be to God. May all be used only for what is good in His sight.
Ahh Netscape the good old days. The founder is actually one of the good guys but he is long gone. Marc Andresson if memory serves
Brave searches absolutely suck. I constantly have to go over to Bing because Brave censors so much content i'm looking for. I can't find it at all on Brave, no matter how deep I go into the search results.
Go over to Bing, and I usually find it pretty quick.
It happens so often, I cannot believe it is accidental or the consequence of a poor data base. I fell they are deliberately hiding stuff they don't want people to see.
I phased out Firefox when they went from scheduled updates to continuous updates. I don’t want to have to wait for the browser to update every time I want to open it.
I rarely use browsers that do not enable multiple tab rows.I used Brave once but did not see what I wanted, but I go to https://poe.com/ and https://www.perplexity.ai/. Much better than any SE for many answers. thank God for choices!
Ditto on Brave+Bing.
I’ve been using that combo for 10+ years.
The only complaint I have is X-videos on Brave are limited to 270p due to lack of H265 extension.
Edge allows H265 extension to be installed so the X-videos are much higher quality.
his ouster is one of the examples cited in: https://peacebyjesuscom.blogspot.com/2022/05/quoracom-censored-why-are-so-many.html
Bingo on that.
Mostly use Brave browser now.
Watched part of the vid.
OMG.
Cheers to their looming demise.
Yeah, that will solve their problems. /sarcasm
Yet the Tor privacy browser is based on Firefox.
I use Brave very often, but not for everything.
Hmmm, maybe that’s how they sucked us in.
