We (Mozilla) Fight For the User

• michaelchisari 15y ago
  I've sent Mr. Eich an email, I'm very interested to see where Mozilla is going in terms of open social networking. While Google+ might be the next centralized ship that everyone jumps to (after Facebook, Myspace, Friendster), I have no doubt that the future of social networking is decentralized. While there is very interesting work being done (and hopefully my project* would be included in that assessment), it may be the case that an organization with the clout and resources of Mozilla may be the most likely hope for moving away from walled gardens. * http://opensource.appleseedproject.org/ http://opensource.appleseedproject.org/

    While I agree with at least part of the sentiment in the tweet, I'm not sure it's relevant, for multiple reasons: 1. The photo's 4 years old, 2. It's not clear that they're all running Mac OS X 3. Mozilla actually delivers products on OS X 4. Mozilla's stated mission is web freedom, not software freedom (though the two are intertwined to a degree). 5. What nice things are being denied? (The only candidate I can think of is H.264, which again was an issue of web freedom, not software freedom). Very similar points apply to Mozilla delivering a webkit-based browser on iPhone/iPad.

  Every time I make my browser do what I want, rather than what some cruft-riddled server wants, I'm reminded of this. Just don't let the designers hollow you out from within.
