"Success for Firefox means continued relevance in the mass consumer market as a way for people to access, shape and feel safe across many devices."
Gah! No! It should mean that Firefox continues to be an awesome, customizable web browser! Why does all this wishy-washy "feelings" crap have to creep into their mission statement?
- criddell 11y agoBecause that doesn't differentiate Firefox from their competitors. Chrome is an awesome, customizable web browser.
- tomc1985 11y agoIt is, but only so much. There are huge gaps in Chrome's addon library (no streamrippers, for example) and it seems Google is more interested in Chrome as an app platform. Trojan horse design Firefox started humble, as a lightweight alternative to the Mozilla Suite -- it needs to return to its roots. (As did Chrome, actually, and it too needs to go back to that). Mozilla should focus their innovation on speed and versatility, and not on disgustingly touchy-feely "mass market" feelings. Ew ew ew ew ew.
- untog 11y ago"feel safe" is not "wishy-washy "feelings" crap". It has all sorts of implications - privacy, security...
- cptskippy 11y agoI think they rolled all of your sentiments up into the word "shape". It kinda makes you want to vomit.
