If you don't like Firefox or Mozilla, stop using it. If you feel that strongly about it, create a Fuck Mozilla community and post there to your heart's content. You're doing nothing in this community with your incessant posting about how Firefox and Mozilla are bad except making yourself feel good and destroying people's curated subscription feeds.

Okay, look. Chromium's monopoly is definitely a concern. But Firefox is also not the answer here.

In a way, you are giving Firefox leeway to do as they want since they are the only thing stopping Chromium's monopoly. That's equally wrong.

Use the better, more secure technology, until we have something better. Don't use Firefox because it's not Chromium - that's definitely not healthy.

So, I'm staying with #Firefox, even though their CEO is tone-deaf and clumsy and destroying #Mozilla's reputation because today I had to remove 6 extensions in #Vivaldi (my sometimes alternate browser), several of which were security-related, because of Google's changes. I miss them. I want them back.

Bottom line. I definitely feel more secure using Firefox than a Chrome-based browser, and I won't let my disappointment with Mozilla kill off the only alternative to Google. I will continue using Firefox.

As far as using a fork of Firefox, if Firefox doesn't live on, neither will these forks.

Critics said the new terms implied Mozilla was asking users for the rights to whatever data they input or upload through Firefox.

There's no guarantee @brave@fosstodon.org will support Manifest V2 after Google drops it in Chromium (which it already did I think?).

If you really want Manifest V2, use @firefox (or a fork) where its being maintained officially.

Yubikeys don't work out of the box for the LibreWolf Flatpak because they sandboxed it so hard.

No big deal. Just had to go into the KDE Plasma Flatpak permission settings and let it have access to all the systems. Which is what Firefox was allowed anyway with a system install.

Firefox, I hope you recover from "paying CEO millions". It sounds like a fatal condition. #WebBrowsers #Firefox #LibreWolf

Mozilla seemingly changes Firefox Terms of Use in order to get rid of wordings such as "we don't sell your data".

Without disabling fingerprinting, zoom options aren't saved, dark mode doesn't really work and Netflix is blocked. But is it even worth running Librewolf if you enable fingerprinting? Isn't that one of the main reasons why one runs Librewolf?

Reckon after the last couple of years of shenanigans, the ToU update for #Mozilla's #Firefox will be the last nail in their coffin.

RIP Mozilla.

Another day, another @BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social video about Mozilla's terms of use update.

To me, this doesn’t feel like a "crisis averted" or "business as usual" situation, but at least Mozilla is addressing it.

I'm very happy with Zen Browser, and I'm considering switching to IronFox on Android. Folks smarter than me say Firefox’s MPL license makes it pretty safe for forks to remove any data-harvesting code if it comes to that.

How my Firefox became a LibreWolf

Given #mozilla now-ambiguous statements about privacy, what do we think about using #firefox Relay for email masking/alias?

Relay is a part of my ongoing effort to tighten up email security as I de-Google my online life. I like that Relay is free since I'm trying a bunch of new stuff and may not like it.
Otherwise my only loyalty to it is that I've already invested the time to set up the masks and forwarding, NBD.

Are we selling your data? Who can say, really? What does "selling" even mean? We'll just need you to agree to new some terms of use to be sure we can get away with whatever it is we'll be doing. Don't worry about it!

An update on #Mozilla terms of use after their initial change. #Firefox

https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/update-on-terms-of-use/

I'm not looking forward to the moaning about how important #firefox security fixes are. A project that pushes "security fixes" continuously for 20 years is insecure on a conceptual level.

Mozilla removed the promise to "never sell your personal data” from its FAQ.

Time to switch

Why does #Mozilla think the few people that are still using #Firefox, are there? The people that were still using it in the darkest times before Quantum, when performance was atrocious. Yep, it's because #privacy. What do they think will happen now that they have modified their TOS to sell your data? 🤦‍♂️

I'm going full hardcore and use Lynx, eff it.

Anything you say or do on Firefox may be used by Mozilla against you. You have the right to use a different browser. If you cannot find a browser that doesn’t fuck you over one way or another, one will not be provided for you because capitalism is working exactly as designed.

In light of recent Mozilla developments, I'm considering switching to a fork. But maintaining a browser fork is a pretty massive piece of work, so I'm wondering which ones are at least decent at that.

We don’t need a fork of Firefox.

We need a fork of Mozilla.

#Mozilla #Firefox

#Firefox has very few users (~2% market share) who care about #privacy, and these days the #Mozilla Corporation often finds a way to piss them off.

Every time I think this will be the last nail in their coffin, they manage to creatively come up with a new fuck-up.

Can't wait for the next one.

We’re introducing a Terms of Use for Firefox for the first time, along with an updated Privacy Notice.
