Mozilla stands for less and less of what it did back in University when they first released "Firebird" from reworking the old Netscape/Mozilla source.
I hate that there are only two major web engines now.
- wodenokoto 6y agoI don't understand why people think using Google as your advertisement middle-man is so much more righteous than doing the advertisement yourself. Mozilla has been taking money for giving Google access to advertise to its users since at least 2004 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Foundation#Financing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Foundation#Financing
- ohgodplsno 6y agoRight, because the default behavior of sending all default searches (and therefore, data) to Google is so much better. Mozilla's entire existence being beholden to Google being afraid of being sued is so much better. It's not a perfect solution. But Mozilla moving away from being dependent on Google is the best they can do. And it can entirely be disabled.
