How Mozilla Ruined Firefox
www.youtube.comActually pretty good video.
- Search engine
- Google location service instead of their own (which they quit)
- FakeSpot & Pocket collecting crazy personalized data
Also info about difference between Mozilla Corporation and MZLA Nonprofit.
If you donate to Mozilla, nothing goes to Firefox. Instead they host petitions and beg big tech companies to be more transparent.
They dont focus on old users at all, and it seems they are unable to implement basic stuff.
I still recommend using Firefox, but with the Arkenfox userJS.
Or just use Librewolf.
Firefox is not usable. And dont donate to Mozilla I guess.

Yes that one. Compare item 9 with https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8890.html
I’m not against commercial web activity obviously. It’s just that the commercial community rightly takes its own side and does a good job of it. Mozilla should correspondingly be only on the users’ side, instead of trying to be on both.
And yes I know which side supplies Mozilla with money. But a pro-user approach to the web’s evolution would IMHO have resulted in browsers staying much simpler than they are now, and therefore less expensive to maintain.
