I am specifically waiting for this to happen so I can be part of the flood to Firefox when they finally throw the switch.
While introducing opt-out tracking where you data is sent to advertisers. Get LibreWolf instead.
Oh I didn't know this fork, thanks!
Or just set the few relevant settings manually, if you need nightly/dev edition.
Until the next dumb shit Mozilla does without telling its users.
Except I've heard about every change from here. And as I read the nightly changelogs, it's not that hidden actually.
Still the best browser, even though the majority left it for the speed they think chrome has.
I’m really hoping Google’s antitrust case doesn’t kill Mozilla. Over 85% of Mozilla’s cash flow is dependent on Google paying for that search box.
If Mozilla stopped paying his CEO millions of dollars... and if they actually financed development with people donations...
We don't know what they pay their new CEO.
I don't think google wants to get hit with another antitrust lawsuit for web browsing, so I am sure they will figure out some other deal to funnel money to Firefox
Mozilla's slowly creeping in the surveillance with adding integrated crap like Pocket and AI driven Fake Spot. I'm really glad Librewolf's made a privacy focused fork of their browser without all that nonsense.
I really hope there's a significant rise in Firefox -and derivatives- usage share. It will be good for everyone, even those stuck on Chromium browsers.
And in the meantime Mozilla keeps making worse decisions, too
Enshitification of all the things.
"And then Mozilla management comes in from the top rope with the chair"
Seriously, for profit companies should not own open source projects.
That for-profit company is owned by a non-profit. They don't have shareholders to which they could pay out the profits.
Has it actually been confirmed when it's coming? I feel like this has been threatened for years now.
It started in june, for now it's just showing a warning saying that the extension will soon no longer be supported. They'll be disabled gradually until the beginning of 2025.

Mozilla is about to collapse due to the Google antitrust ruling though.
Mozilla and its murder/suicide pact with Google falling apart may be the best thing that could possibly happen to Firefox.
We need another meme like this about Firefox but with the first panel saying "Antitrust judgement against Google" and the second panel blank, without anyone coming to the rescue.
The large majority of Mozilla's revenue comes from the money that Google pays to be the default search engine in Firefox.
Manifest v3 was why I switched to FF a while ago - it was going to only be a matter of time even with the delays so I figured I should switch early. I still like how chrome looks a lot more and wish we had tab grouping, but google can take uBO from my cold, dead hands.
