The “siege” against the Capitol – which mostly amounted to a group of dressed up LARPers walking around after being let in by police – prompted the failing web browser brand to claim:
“Changing these dangerous dynamics requires more than just the temporary silencing or permanent removal of bad actors from social media platforms.”
The newly defined goals of the company include exposing who advertisers are; and revealing networks of people who are guilty of wrongthink.
Mitchell Baker also wants to make default across his systems the amplification of corporate news voices over third party or entry-level providers.
Their full list of changes to made includes:
Reveal who is paying for advertisements, how much they are paying and who is being targeted. Commit to meaningful transparency of platform algorithms so we know how and what content is being amplified, to whom, and the associated impact. Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation. Work with independent researchers to facilitate in-depth studies of the platforms’ impact on people and our societies, and what we can do to improve things.
In the past, critics of Firefox have urged the company to show independence from Google, despite their financial ties. The business model of Mozilla heavily relies on external funding, specifically on search engines.
According to Computer World, 91 percent of Mozilla’s funding in 2018 came from Google (as they secured being Mozilla’s default search engine). This deal was renegotiated in 2020 and extended for three more years, with approximately $400-450 million more landing in Mozilla’s lap.

You can walk down and pay your water bill, but there are a lot of on-line businesses and organizations that depend on PayPal for receiving payments for purchases, donations, etc. So the problem isn’t so much with convenience for payees as it is with cutting off income for recipients.
Done and done.

$3.33/mth if paid annually or $2.19/mth if pay for three years. Good for up to 5 devices at once. They have apps/programs for anything. I run Kubuntu/Linux and they cover it. I have it autostart and have it connect to Chicago. If that seems slow, I’ll swap to Houston servers.
They’ve been rated as very good for not easily bowing to law enforcement requests.
https://www.falkon.org/ is another good, fast browser. Made by KDE (Linux) but they do make it for Windows too. 32 and 64 bit, Win 7 or higher.

Nasty talk about Trump. BS about white supremacy.

Good googley gawd man, ditch google.
TY.
Guess it is time - or past time - to quit Firefox, which has already fallen to a minuscule part of the browser market.
Hadn’t heard of it until today. Looking at the website now. Made by the gab people. Looks like another Chromium based browser, like most including Brave, MS Edge, Opera. Chromium is Chrome before google gets their hands on it. Google funds the development of Chromium. https://dissenter.com/
Kinda hard when our two lap tops are chrome and so are the android phones.
Before I go to bed, I write down what I had for supper so I can remember it the next morning to insure I don't repeat myself the next night.........LOL!
Those Chromebooks are cheap. Maybe for a reason. Google loves collecting personal data. They must have a heck of a file on you.
Thanks for posting this. I agree with you!
I disagree. Historically speaking I classify the Dems and their left as fascists. And I use an historical test to do so.
There is noting Stalinist about today’s Dem party, outside of their totalitarian methodology,Stalin would never unify with big tech industry for example.,... that’s a thing that fascists do.
If you are interested, this is a great article to read from 2008 which talks about these fascists and why they are such:

BOL!
Re Brave browser. Every time I shut it down and restart it, all of the previous history on each open tab is gone.
Can’t go forward or back. I’ve looked, how do I fix that?
Update: Just installed it and my system considers Dissenter a second Brave browser session/instance/window. Weird. It also has the Brave Shield logo.
It takes ok minutes to install on my phone and laptop. Took a little longer to move my bookmarks over. Brave looks very much like Firefox. I’m not going back.
Well you go down that road, if it pleases you - I’ve seen these people before and so have a lot of my now deceased friends who escaped from behind their Wall. Ever had a conversation in Russian with a KGB agent? Would change your mind fast.
Thanks

Probably as big and boring as my MS windows 10 laptop files now used as a paper weight!:)
Gates sold my MS data to finance his restart for the world.
