Mozilla are pathetic, Firefox is back to posting on X/Twitter.

[sexybenfranklin@smores.town]

@doragasu @holgero @gamingonlinux You could also check out Waterfox which like Librewolf is based on Firefox, but a bit less intense about its privacy features (doesn't auto delete all cookies upon restart, etc.)

[joykill@mastodon.social]

@gamingonlinux probably went back because nobody on Fedi was jumping to defend the bullshit their social media team was posting

[wgrav@fosstodon.org]

@pawv @codecat @gamingonlinux Musk was right when he said he was "bringing back comedy" or whatever it was. He's given us a warrent to laugh at how utterly pathetic the man is.

[kagan@wandering.shop]

@gamingonlinux I just noticed, a couple of days ago, that I haven't opened Firefox in... I'm not honestly sure when. Weeks? I seem to have successfully migrated to Waterfox.

"That's nice," I thought at the time.

Now, I'm *much* happier about that. Hells, yes!

@firefoxwebdevs

Right, I imagine running back to the CP generator was a bigger priority.

[caiocgo@mastodon.social]

@gamingonlinux Quite disappointed. Mozilla, in general, is working hard to make us stop supporting them.

@firefoxwebdevs
0. 0 is wiw. Have fun with the bots and the CSAM producers over there.

Maybe you could fix the bugs in Firefox iOS instead of smarming over here. It's just a shell over Safari's engine and it's still an embarrassment.

I use @floorp as my main browser and like it a lot!

[doragasu@mastodon.sdf.org]

@sexybenfranklin @holgero @gamingonlinux Biggest problems I had with Librewolf are that timezone spoofing caused calendar apps to display wrong time, and having webgl disabled by default also makes some webs to fail. Both can be toggled on a page by page basis (or globally if you do not care about them), but if you do not know about these issues, it can be confusing seeing some webs not working and not knowing how to fix the issue..

@alessandro
A japanese browser? Do they make it easy to follow development notes?

[alessandro@cosocial.ca]

@mstr_milktea

Yes all patch notes are in English. I don't speak any Japanese and have no issues. It's Firefox under the hood but with many extra features.

[mware@ottawa.place]

@gamingonlinux 48 hours until they announce they're being funded by a Grok deal?

[luxliquida@lgbtqia.space]

@gamingonlinux

The Internet didn't change... their internal politics did

It's heartbreaking to watch a project I believed so strongly in just sell out completely (this, Mullvad, AI)

[dukeduke@mastodon.social]

@gamingonlinux I've been solely using Librewolf on my tabet to see if I liked it. No issues so far, so with this Moz decision, looks like it's time to switch on my primary machine as well. Such a fucking waste. 🤬

[wouter@maly.io]

@gamingonlinux
Not the best move mozilla has made.

[soulsource@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@holgero @gamingonlinux None. They are either based on the same (Google-maintained) tech as Chrome, forked off Chrome, forked off Firefox, or they are missing features that some important websites require...

I would love to say Servo, but Servo isn't really usable yet.

Since using Google tech would mean supporting their dominance over web standards (guess why it's so hard to make a new browser from scratch), it probably has to be some Firefox fork...
(I just don't know which ones are good.)

[cynical_melomaniac@freeradical.zone]

@gamingonlinux Mozilla keeps making great arguments as to why Firefox contributor should be poached by Servo

@gamingonlinux Mozilla sure are really having an “interesting” time aren’t they. Can’t say I’m surprised anymore, but still nonetheless disappointed to see it.
