A curated list of jwz’s comments on Mozilla, the organization he started 27 years ago.
I don't really care about DRM, users can disable it if they want.
I have serious issues with Mozilla over the highlighted comment, and it goes way past 2020. I have only really cared about Mozilla as a web browser and web standards org, and they seem to want the organization to go beyond that. That's why I don't fund them, they're not focused, so my money would go to random things I care little about.
I think a lot of people feel this way. And it really seems like Mozilla is pushing hard on this "we're not just a web browser" thing, yet most users just want them to be a web browser. So Mozilla will continue justifying things users don't want (e.g. Pocket, AI nonsense, etc) because it helps with some other initiative unrelated to the browser.
That's probably ultimately what's going to drive me away, and I think it'll ultimately lead to Mozilla failing its other missions. Once LadyBird is usable, I'll probably switch, because they don't have the same lack of focus that Mozilla does.
I’ll probably stick with FF-derivatives like LibreWolf & Mullvad unless & until Mozilla changes something that ruins things downstream. If they do, I’d consider my WebKit-based options.
Isnt mullvad dead? I sw they stopped updating
No, that's Mull. Mullvad is maintained.
