Looks like FF is on track for enshittification, I (unfortunately and with great sadness) called it last year (and was downvoted for it lol)

      Honestly, I’m starting to think it’s for the best… Firefox downfall will make people invest in an alternative web engine, I’m thinking that would be Servo, all it’s left is for forks to switch to it, of course that would mean they’ll be responsible for all the features and patches (which is huge work), that’ll require a fundraiser, and after that figure ways to make money such as an integrated VPN, Cloud Features such as notes, public bookmarks… Etc

      All we need is determination, Mozilla won’t save us, I mean … save the web

        Ladybird is open source by the SerenityOS team but it is pre-alpha so it will be years before it is usable for most people

        It’s long past time to burn the bird again. Mozilla, the organization, has been stumbling around with its pants on its head for a while. But this? Jesus fuck, there’s nothing I hate more than ‘by doing X you agree to Y.’

        Zero information I “input through Firefox” should make it back to Mozilla. Zilch! Not one byte! It’s my computer, running my copy of this FOSS software, talking to a server that’s none of your goddamn business.
