What complicates things is that large companies have incentive and resources to try to dissuade users from using completely free and open source browsers.
This makes it harder to trust messages about not trusting ie. Firefox.
- zoobab 2y agoYou mean bundling the browser with the OS?
- nonrandomstring 2y agoThere are certainly many enemies of Mozilla who've used disinformation and exaggeration to agitate against them. From where I stand, Mozilla have done little to deflect that, everything to encourage it and generally been been their own worst enemy. Taking on an operation like running Mozilla is not just running some random tech company that makes a browser. Standing up for software freedom is an ideological stance (in the best possible sense) and requires more capable people who are prepared to dig deeper, work harder, take risk, and stand up for what is right. I do not see those people at Mozilla. Correct me if I'm wrong (and let's have their email) so I can apologise and invite them to discuss why Firefox is no longer a browser that I can trust.
