I present to you the Debian Foundation as a counter example. I posit they are surviving just fine without a contract with Google.

I wonder why the current structure is set up like that. I mean I don't think it's by accident – if it were set up like that by accident, surely, it could have been set up so people could direct donations directly at Firefox, if th

You do get that the CEO has the most power in directing where the company goes and the CEO is directly reponsible, at least in part, for the current situation Mozilla is in. As a result I think the CEO should have been the first to suffer t

Can you make a financial contribution that goes solely towards Firefox and not towards some other Mozilla activities?

I wonder how many more people would donate if they knew the donation would be spent on making Firefox better and not on political activism.

Yes, I specifically addressed that point in my post: > I agree that it would have been an insignificant number of the 250 people fired, but it would have made a difference in the life of the employees not fired and it would have given me

I thought I missed the quote when I first read the article, but I did a search now and it came up empty. Was the quote in the article and got taken out, or were you just being sarcastic?

I can't say if it's in a good or bad way, I guess it would depend on the individual case. I just know it's extremely hard to be true to your stated purpose when incentives push you in other directions.

They don't have access to my DNS/web server. That didn't stop Google from sending me 11 spam emails about G Suite. I think the first step Google should take before DNS/web server verification is to verify the email addre

Someone created a G Suite trial for a domain I own. There was no option for me to contact Google to tell them I did not create the trial account and do not want it, since all contact options required me to be logged into the trial account I

Not OP, but Kiwi Browser supports Chrome extensions.

Kiwi Browser on Android supports Chrome extensions. After pushing the Firefox update that disabled my extensions, some of which I use when I buy groceries for recipes (Tap Translate), I am abandoning Mozilla too :( Makes me sad after using

How do you evaluate the credibility of anything in life? I'm not being facetious, it's a question I've been asking myself a lot lately after making decisions based on the information from a medical doctor, who, turns out, was

If you are a developer, I encourage you to create a test case that reproduces the issue reliably and then profile Firefox in that test case. If you feel a bit apprehensive about doing so, it is worth mentioning that profiling Firefox is not

If you can tolerate it, I recommend using Temporary Containers as a supercharged version of Enhanced Tracking Protection.

by shock 6y ago
Unfortunately, even with Enhanced Tracking Protection 2.0 you can still be tracked by using ETags. There are extensions for Firefox that block ETag tracking, but I haven't reviewed a specific extension sufficiently to recommend one.

I don't think Java qualifies as legacy. I view it rather being in the 'mature' stage of programming languages evolution.

Another way to think about it would be: you have (roughly) the same chance of dying in a 3 hour flight as in an 9 hour bus ride.

> Measuring the risk of travel in terms of hours seems largely pointless, unless I'm missing something. Again, it depends on what you're trying to measure. If you're trying to quantify the risk of dying by accident at a ce

Thank you. I thought it was self evident. I've amended my post to make it clearer.
