lol it’s pointless arguing with hex or grad you’re wasting your time. I’m curious what the result of our vote to defederate from them on jlai.lu will be now.
Yeah you’re being judged for past actions but to these people it does not matter if you recognize your mistake or not nor that you try and improve the situation.

- Comment on Firefox rolls out Total Cookie Protection by default to all desktop users worldwide | It is Firefox’s strongest privacy protection to date, confining cookies to the site where they were created 2 months ago:
Most of the revenue of Mozilla Corporation comes from Google (81% in 2022[2]) in exchange of making it the default search engine in Firefox.

Other issues I have with Firefox is the telemetry bits, the way they handle some of their employees (laying one guy off because he has cancer), the lack of meaningful updates and features in the last decade, CEO granting herself a nice pay rise after doing well nothing really. The list goes on and on honestly.
Don’t get me wrong, you should still use Firefox or a Firefox derived browser if you care about a free internet. I myself use firefox (although I just switched to Zen browser on my PC which is based on Firefox). However we shouldn’t be blind ourselves just because we hate anything google based and/or closed sourced. Firefox is still back by a for profit company which is, as I quoted earlier, backed at least by 80% by google.
For the positive side now it seems that in the last 2-3 months firefox has been pumping out meaningful updates (even on mobile). Things seem to be taking a positive turn recently and I’m actually a bit excited to see where firefox is going to go from here.

Right of the bat: lemmygrad, hexbear and .ml other than that lack of userbase, lack of interaction in certain communities. Also some good communites are hosted on .ml also some good users there so I can’t outright block that instance.

- Comment on The Firefox browser now has a built-in page translator that works even without the Internet 1 year ago:
You’re also missing the point. Google gives firefox around 85% of it’s revenue. We are really fighting an uphill battle against against corporations that have even bribed our allies. I don’t want to argue because at this point it’s pointless I don’t want to be pitted against people who support FOSS because that’s what I want to use and that’s what I use most of time. But when it comes to browsers we have lost that battle.
Unless we find 800 million dollars in donations, Mozilla is just the pet dog of google at this point.
- Comment on The Firefox browser now has a built-in page translator that works even without the Internet 1 year ago:
I totally understand you that’s the reason I was using Firefox also. but after discovering that their main revenue is from Google and that firefox is basically kept alive BY Google just so they can say that it looks like their supporting different browsers is a big no. Performance and display problems on my phone were really annoying (I was using Mull on my phone and firefox on desktop).
- Comment on After USB-C win, EU tells Tim Cook that Apple must 'open up its gates to competitors'. 1 year ago:
It would be foolish to think that a company that goes far out of it’s way to make walled gardens would open up it’s charging port to an industry standard making it easier to use charging cables from other phones. They kept the thunderbolt as long as possible until the EU told them to quit the crap.
