I realized mozilla is cooked a few months ago when i read this issue where it has taken them TWELVE YEARS to implement a date picker
neclimdul@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Between the fact I’ve been using a date picker for ages in Firefox, the fact dates and times are hard, and the title of the issue that’s clearly a zombie issue. I’m surprised they were able to close it at all.

Don’t collect anything on your own and don’t sell the things you don’t collect. Bam, problem solved.

I feel a little vindicated. I started using Firefox basically when it was first released. I migrated away from it after several years because I simply didn’t like the direction that Mozilla was taking it. Decades later I see them struggling down the same inevitable path I figured they’d always head down from the beginning.
Firefox bros used to get ultra pissed at me for shitting on their browser because I just knew Mozilla would eventually fuck it all up. And here we are.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. I told ya so? I was smarter than everyone else and figured it out first?
FF has been one of the better full-featured browsers with generous amount of add-ons/plugins. There was no reason not to use it vs some less functional browser or some corporate data miner like Chrome. It still is, however some alternatives are catching up. Time will tell how it all shakes out as far as the battle between functionality, privacy, ad- and tracking-blockers, and people willing to build and maintain free browsers and plugins.
Xanza@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.
Literally the first thing I said;
I feel a little vindicated.
I apologize. I literally don’t know how to make it any more clear than that.

What has your choice of browser(s) been throughout the past decade?
zecg@lemmy.world 11 months ago
What are you using now?
elephantium@lemmy.world 11 months ago
basically when it was first released
Ah, back in the Mozilla Phoenix days? Or shortly after the Firebird->Firefox rename?
Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah, these guys were early participants in the browser wars. They aren’t your friends.
Babalugats@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Sorry, I’m lost…
Who are you referring to the was late to the browser wars?
IMALlama@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Duckduckgo’s browser uses webview as it’s main engine, which means that on a phone it will simply use blink (chromium) on Android and Windows device or webkit on Apple devices.
squire3@lemmy.world 11 months ago
If Firefox is losing its footing as a privacy focused browser then where do we go? If your on Mac maybe Safari?
cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
Any of the Firefox forks. This is Mozilla not Firefox that is making these decisions.

we should all support ladybird project in hope for accelerated development. alpha in 2026, beta in 2027, stable in 2028. thats a long waiting time
global__warning@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
zen, ladybird, waterfox are some that i’ve heard of before. zen is out now. idk about the others. one of my friends uses zen and it’s pretty neat.
fishie@quokk.au 11 months ago
zen is still unstable. random errors and bugs show up very often

The screw-ups keep mounting like they want to be Google.
They (and we)'ve got to admit, the solution is not going to come from within their (managerial) ranks.
At this point I’d be happy to offer my services as a BDFL for Mozilla, at but a small fraction of the wages of any of their C-suites.

In 1900 on March 14th the Gold Standard Act was ratified in America, forcing the dollar to be redeemable by the Treasury on demand for a fixed value in gold. It was abondoned in 1933 during the Great Depression (which really was not all that great from what I’ve read).
In 1943 Kraków Ghetto ceased to have prisoners. Less great than that depression.
1964 Jack Ruby was convicted of assassinating JFK.
1879 Einstein’s birthday.
1883 Karl Marx’s death.
zer0bitz@lemmy.world 11 months ago
So sad. I have used Firefox since 2006. Today I removed it for good from all of my devices. So long old friend. I cant wait for Ladybird to release.

what is your current open source / FOSS alternative?
global__warning@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
zen i heard is good. probably gonna give it a try one of these days
zer0bitz@lemmy.world 11 months ago
LibreWolf on desktop and Fennec on phone.

palemoon is just firefox from the pre quantum days before the webextension enshittification and all they need is a decent mobile app and their own sync

It is actively developed . They didn’t just kept the old version. They forked it and improving and fixing it.
Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It could just be styled the old way
Chadus_Maximus@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Aaaand that’s why I switched to Brave. If you have shit performance and are selling my data, what’s the redeeming quality? 8gb of RAM should be enough to browse the internet. IDK why Firefox insists it isn’t…
ayyy@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
If this is not a parody, I implore you to at least…read the Wikipedia page?
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
Lol Brave… Ok
Little8Lost@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Brave did have some bad habits (and i think still has) so personally i would not trust them with my data. You could look for a firefox based browser like Zen (the most beautyful of them all) or stick to any other privacy first chromium based like vivaldi or mullvad.
The general rule: the less features, the more privacy And if features are needed there are addons

Yup I’ll be sticking with Firefox forks… Unfortunately i have to keep a chrome install around because i can’t get alternative browsers to do redirects for PayPal
MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
Hm? Paypal redirects work for me, even in my browsing profile with trimmed useragent and strict same-origin/cookie policy. This one was never a problem, even if no other webäpp worked. Seems they have good fallbacks.
sibachian@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
the problem with that is - if everyone switches to forks, development of firefox stops, killing it, and the forks are guaranteed to follow.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
Have you tried “un-googled chromium”? Should work pretty much the same as regular chromium in that regard…

Women CEOs are as shit as Male CEOs. Who would have thunk the war of the sexes was a cause dangled in front of the bougies so the elite could parasitise free from fear of popular revolt huh?
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
Fucking what?
elephantium@lemmy.world 11 months ago
This was essentially my same reaction to that comment. All I can think is that they imagined that this post said something like “Firefox bad because DEI CEO!” and reacted without actually reading the post.
Which … I mean, given the world we currently live in, is probably being said somewhere. But on this post, it’s a HECK of a non-sequitur.
angrystego@lemmy.world 11 months ago
These are two separate things. Men and women are all human beings and are OF COURSE capable of being shitty or good on the same level. But it’s important to give the same opportunity to both, there’s no reason one of the sexes should be discriminated against. Women are still not equal in many ways (the exact ways depending on the particular society).
Ledericas@lemm.ee 11 months ago
They are often used as scapegoats in the CEO position, when the company gets really bad reputation. Musk being an obvious example of X, chose a woman as a human shield
Ledericas@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I read somewhere that women CEO are often chosen when the company is declining or about to fail, as a way to take the blame off from themselves
Viri4thus@feddit.org 11 months ago
Sex, gender, sexual orientation, skin colour are red herrings used to distract the people from the fact they have a boot on their neck. The replies to my comment are yet another evidence people are OK licking the boot as long as the party is “insert preference here”. The problem is not particular to any of the aforementioned classes, the problem is the incentive structure is broken and the fiduciary duty is enshrined in law rather than good governance and long term sustainability. Firefox is just another evidence that cheerleading for a CEO because of intrinsic characteristics is a folly.

horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You can always install a fork
homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I have been advised it’s not a fork but a reconfig of default firefox, therefore it would technically be subject to the same ToS.
Zak@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Depending on how the requirement to accept the ToS is implemented, a config file might be able to disable it and any features that depend on it.
horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Ah, thanks for the clarification. I was under the impression it didn’t call out to mozilla servers if you didn’t enable sync.
I guess Mullvad would be the next popular browser yeah?
MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 11 months ago
How good is mullvad browser?
Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
I haven’t been presented with any Ts and C’s. Do they apply if I already installed Firefox before this?

On iOS, all browsers are Safari with a coat of paint.

so is this them trying to protect its users while adding nuance for the sake of legal protections, or is this them pretending to do that in order to profit off its users?

I’m using Fennec (based on Firefox, sans telemetry). Is there a good, reliable, and trustable way to export my bookmarks so I don’t have to depend on Firefox Sync?
Don_alForno@feddit.org 11 months ago
Which jurisdictions? What kind of broad way? Give one example please. I dare you.
