Fighting against evil

Had it saved on my hard drive for years and recently re-discovered it. Seems to be from 2011 (!!)

Google is getting worse by the year, but it seems even back then some people were already seeing where things were going.

(Credits to the original author whoever it might be)

I think its evil against corrupted at this point

Don’t you dare say something informed while the circle-jerk is going on.

The art is nice, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that you are spot on and some numbnuts vote you down. Story of the internet.

And because you gotta bring receipts: https://itdm.com/mozilla-firefox-usage-down-85-but-why-are-execs-salary-up-400/2050/

Honestly, Mozilla needs new leadership. The non profit is fine but the company has so much potential and could be way more profitable and useful. Instead of making things people want to buy or use they keep choosing the wrong path.

What they should do is partner with Nextcloud to bring a google drive competitor to the market. This wouldn’t happen while they are receiving payouts by google

Google funds most of Mozilla, unfortunately.

They pay to set the search engine to Google.

Something most Firefox users will change to something like Duckduckgo

So the fox is confused and fighting its own survival through battling its foe?

Is this through donations, or through google search default?

It’s for the search engine, correct.

Which is meaningless as most Firefox users tend to switch to alternatives like duckduckgo

From my understanding, this is from setting Google as the default search engine.

Honestly, I don’t blame them for taking it. The Mozilla corporation has done a lot of good for the modern internet.

they’re also using Google location services instead of Mozilla ones by default (this only matters if you have disabled native os geolocation service)

Agreed. It’s a shit system that needs reform or we all die, but for not it’s all about lesser evils

I worry about many of Firefox’s decisions (they’ve been going off script worryingly frequently), but funding the org with this one concession seems acceptable to me
