Mozilla used to brand itself as the non-activist browser. It was supposed to be the browser that didn’t snoop or didn’t try to steer your opinion.

I used to like Firefox.
I dropped it about a decade ago when I found out it was run by a bunch of Lefty/Marxists. They did a very good job of hiding it. Seems they’ve decided to drop the mask now.

One fascinating aspect of this is that only leftist sites claim to be fighting “misinformation”.

Everybody else is just doing the best they can to figure out what is going on out there.

Mozilla’s financial death is well deserved.

The logo looks like a screenshot from a 1976 version of PONG?

It will be interesting to see if “We’re going to control everything you see” is a viable commercial approach. I wouldn’t bet on it.

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.”

The only thing 'equity' drives is mediocrity but Ms. Rebrand Director DOES a PhD: Piled Higher and Deeper.

That means the misinformation funding is all they’ve got left to go for

The new logo looks like an 80s Atari depiction of an ostrich.

Only, where’s the sand its head should be buried in?

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.

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.

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

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.

So not having learned, Mozilla to follow Google/Chrome [stop it!], to which it lost the browser war - due to promotion, not superiority. I like Firefox much better than any Chromium-based browser, because of the greater degree of customization of Firefox (which is partly "warranted" due to FF trying to copy Chrome), , which esp. includes multiple tab rows.

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)

Floorp Browser: Is It The Most Advanced Cross-Platform Firefox Derivative? Let's take a look at another interesting Firefox fork, Floorp.

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.

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.
