Mozilla have made legal threats in the past about mentioning ANYTHING to do with Firefox.
So I steer well clear.
The irony(?) being we used to be listed on the Mozilla website :) https://web.archive.org/web/20121229210505/http://www.mozilla.org/projects/powered-by.html https://web.archive.org/web/20121229210505/http://www.mozill...
- jisnsm 2y agoI’m pretty sure it’s completely legal to mention trademarks when comparing your product to others.
- aaomidi 2y agoAre you backing that up with financial support if they get sued by overzealous lawyers?
- MrAlex94 2y agoI had solicitors involved, they basically said you are in the right, but they have more money. Not a hill worth dying on.

- hnuser123456 2y agoThank you for maintaining this, glad to see it's still going. It was funny to see Mozilla fumble their policy update while apparently trying to be vague. I see your headline features are anti-tracking, private tabs, and container tabs, but do you still do any performance optimizations beyond Firefox, either in code or by compiler? Ah, I see you mention this for 6.5.0: "We have now bumped the “tuned” CPU code generation to match Skylake2 processor instruction sets. This should result in better performance if you have an Intel Skylake (or equivalent AMD processor) or better." Do you continue to see some measurable performance improvements in WF over FF thanks to compiler optimizations? Wish you the best with your v7.0 build system.
