Facing 80% revenue drop, Mozilla rebrands itself and doubles down on being “advocates,” “activists,” fighting “misinformation”

I didn’t use Brave for images. It isn’t that good.

Nice!

After years of Frefox, Waterfox, Cyberfox and SlimBrowser, I’ve dumped Mozilla for The Edge.
I got tired of websites telling me that they no longer support browsers of my choice.

I have and do continuously hate Google from its first day of operation, and its takeover of Yahoo and YouTube, with the concurreent monkeying.

Perfect post for this day. A gift to Mozilla is: You nearly screwed up my new expensive system. My fault of course for letting you do it to me, to ignore warning symptoms of a browser trying to take over. And guess what? Mozilla.

You did take over the entire browser. Used firefox for years. So now, I don’t have a problem with you tracking me etc, and all my images and videos display perfect through a new browser not eve remotely connected to Mozilla.

I am HarpoLemond and I approved this message:
Daftly, and succinctly written for Mozilla.

TY Martin for this post. I troubled myself this morning over Mozilla, and then I saw your post. I am dumbfounded that Mozilla would be so ignorant of those who use their products, and your post Martin was encouraging for me

A note to Mozilla. When you mess with people, they get cross. When you cause them real trouble, they delete you, which is what I did. And C Cleaner finished up wiping up the trash from your tracking. Glad I got rid of you. The switch was easy, and now you will get no revenue from me.

I still miss Netscape.
It did everything needed.

Thanks for that info. I’ll definitely be trying Talk!

Mozilla / Firefox ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Thanks to daniel1212 for the ping!

I would guess Mozilla wishes to be supported by lefty billionaires. If this were two years ago Mozilla would be looking for government money to be slipped to it through NGOs and the like. Mozilla is effectively living on charity.

[monkeyshine]

They are idiots at marketing. They should be “Brave” and launch a browser that comes complete with a VPN and no tracking cookies.

[monkeyshine]

Yeah didn’t think of that angle. They are marketing to a certain group of financial backers.

[rightwingcrazy]

They squeezed their CEO out of his job for being insufficiently woke, back in 2014. He was an early casualty of that nonsense. I haven’t forgotten.

[Repeat Offender]

That was one of the founder’s vision. He was CEO when the board ousted him…..for donating $1k in support of the marriage = 1man + 1woman law in California.

Mozilla went to crap after that. He went on to found Brave.

[phormer phrog phlyer]

Beat me to it. I use Brave.

[rod5591]

>>>Used to use Firefox until a decade ago when the founder had to resign under pressure from employees and others for his previous donation against the legalization of so-called same-sex marriage.<<<

Exactly the same for me!

[Bikkuri]

I miss Netscape..

[Bikkuri]

And I have been using Brave since then.
Screw Mozilla after they pulled that crap.

[daniel1212]

Just did a search for Firefox alternatives ,LOL

The best I found, began by Jap. students, based on Gocko. Floorp Browser: Is It The Most Advanced Cross-Platform Firefox Derivative? Let's take a look at another interesting Firefox fork, Floorp. itsfoss.co ^ | January 20, 2024 . | Sourav Rudra
