People need to resign

It's insane to think Firefox would ever have gone this route? How disconnected is management? The move would be suicide! A major reason people use Firefox is because of privacy. The other major reason is because a user's privacy conscious child or grandchild installed it for them. That's your whole fucking userbase!

It's a shame too because they had the opportunity to double down on privacy. What with Apple caving to governments.

I was a fanboy who's been with you for nearly two decades You can check my comment history. I defended you through tough times, I've donated, and for what? A slap in the face.

You had it going with the rust rewrite and just floundered on every opportunity. You made Thunderbird pretty good and gave many hope, then floundered. You have some great devs, let them make great software

So where do we go now? What browser that isn't just a different color of chrome? Safari? No. Ladybird? Sea Monkey?



They sold out, Mozilla in name only. My plan is to switch my family to librewolf on Desktop and Brave on Mobile until better options appear. I'm a bit bitter about it. I've often been the only person in my org that insisted on Firefox.

_Exactly_ as you say, like a virus, whenever I visit family I will be switching out their browsers from Firefox to the next best thing.
