“New CEO”
Did anyone for a fraction of a second expect anything good to follow that part?
Ladybird can't come soon enough
If Firefox is now considered a bad choice based on what the new CEO said, what do you think of Ladybird's leader?

I've been sticking with Firefox through thick and thin. All through the rise of chrome I stuck with Firefox. They sure are making it hard. Think I'm going to have to pull the plug soon.
The new CEO's overarching goal is to turn Mozilla into the “world’s most trusted software company,” citing public dissatisfaction with today’s privacy practices and the tech industry’s growing appetite for all kinds of data.
What the fuck does this man think the industry is feeding the data to?
I've always defended mozilla after every dumb mistake, but I'm over it.
They're pretty much just cooked at this point.
Guess we're going to have to go with Brave then.

Oh wait
How about forking Firefox and make that into an AI browser instead of ruining the good old Firefox?
Zen, LibreWolf, and Waterfox strip Firefox clean of AI.
Zen is a feature powerhouse like Vivaldi, without the bloat. LibreWolf is privacy focused and ships with uBlock Origin by default.
Zen is my main browser. LibreWolf at work for stability. Waterfox works on PC and Android, but I only use it on the latter so can't vouch for its performance on the former.
There are even more Firefox forks, but these are the one's I use.
I tried to use Zen in my work computer but IT flagged it and made me uninstall it, due to privacy and security concerns. The approved browsers are edge, chrome and vanilla Firefox.
Go figure
What do you use for android?
Thank god for Librewolf.
Which is a fork of Firefox. Librewolf lives and dies by Firefox’s continued development.
Haha Jesus. Seeya!
Sigh.. another one down. Anyone know good alternatives?
if you like vim navigation there's Qutebrowser. I use that as my daily driver and I love it. will never use another browser again.
Librefox is a privacy focused fork of Firefox. And if what I use. I've also heard good things about waterfox
donate to servo!
fuck this shit!
Christ.
The last few months of tech news alone have me feeling like he ain't answering his ring doorbell.
