- Comment on Mozilla is recruiting beta testers for a free, baked-in Firefox VPN 3 days ago:
The only browser that has a relatively unrestricted add-on ecosystem, and the best one capable of running mobile add-ons, shouldn’t need to add this as a baked-in feature.
I’m pretty sure this feature classifies as bloat.
- Comment on Hackers can steal 2FA codes and private messages from Android phones 6 days ago:

- Comment on What is the current state of Matrix? 5 weeks ago:
Way back in 2023, Matrix was the jack of all trades but the master of none. It wanted to replace Discord but the video messaging was not stable enough. It wanted to replace Slack but message searching didn't really work. It was still struggling to get a decent client and server implementation, and message loading times were a huge pain point.
Fast forward to today, most of the problems are still there. Give it a couple more years to cook.

Your tl;dr appears to be missing some important data. You can have an opinion but please don't represent it as an accurate summary.
Things you crucially missed:
- Less open than every other service available
- Bills itself as the most open
- Server side source code is MIA
- No model card available. Evaluations, risks, biases, guardrails and safety measures unclear.
