- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

The reason to promote Firefox is different. As far I've observed people here, Mozilla isn't viewed in a particularly high regard here. It's just viewed as the "less bad" option.
Google is an ad company. Targeted ads pay more. Invasion of user privacy is highly necessary for having good targeted ads. Hence, Google simply cannot not invade user privacy.
Mozilla is incompetent, yes. But it's a non profit with a revenue model very different than that of Google.
Blink has a scarily high share of the market. Google is blink's curator. This gives Google a scarily large amount of power. That is another reason I've seen many cite as a reason to use Firefox.
I've never seen anyone dick riding Mozilla.
