How did you get pics from inside Mozilla HQ? What a shitshow of a company at this point.
Im grateful to the people there keeping Firefox alive, but at this point they should consider splitting off from Mozilla and maintaining a fork or just joining the librewolf team.
Im 100% certain there is enough funding going to mozilla that is specifically intended to help firefox. All those donors, private and commercial, could/would switch if the public stunt of declaring mozilla a sinking ship is aggressive enough. I dont believe for even a second that more than 5-10% of mozillas money is going towards actual core firefox/thunderbird dev work. Its not cheap to develop im sure, but nowhere near the amount of money that mozilla sucks up every year.
I installed Palemoon because it’s more independent from Firefox, having forked longer ago, but what I’m really looking forward to is for a usable browser to come from the Servo project.
@loaExMachina @unexposedhazard I have Pale Moon installed for testing purposes but as a general use browser it’s pretty useless on the modern web since the developer REFUSES to allow it to support the Widevine plug-in making it useless for watching streaming video. It won’t even load YouTube videos properly.
Not supporting DRM on the web is a concious choice I support, you should have base Firefox for your proprietary tech consumptions
What did they do?
OP posted this toot with this image revently in a different comunity:
To summarize:
FF has been losing market share while hiking chairman salary.
Fediverse support and Mastodon are being discontinued in December.
Mozilla is hiring positions for ads and for AI (Which faces backlash for profiting off FOSS development).
Not so long ago users were also upset with the quiet addition of ‘Website Advertising Preferences.’
Still we need an alternative to the Chromium/Chrome monopoly. I can’t imagine living in a world without uBlockOrigin/ good adblockers.
They seriously think I would want to donate my money when their useless leadership is getting paid millions. Out of their fucking tree is what they are. 😆
thunderbird is actually a different subdivision and most of their donations go towards developing thunderbird and k-9mail, you should support them if you can
