    The new CEO’s overarching goal is to turn Mozilla into the “world’s most trusted software company,” citing public dissatisfaction with today’s privacy practices and the tech industry’s growing appetite for all kinds of data.

    What the fuck does this man think the industry is feeding the data to?

    I’ve always defended mozilla after every dumb mistake, but I’m over it.

    They’re pretty much just cooked at this point.

    I’ve been sticking with Firefox through thick and thin. All through the rise of chrome I stuck with Firefox. They sure are making it hard. Think I’m going to have to pull the plug soon.

    Zen, LibreWolf, and Waterfox strip Firefox clean of AI.

    Zen is a feature powerhouse like Vivaldi, without the bloat. LibreWolf is privacy focused and ships with uBlock Origin by default.


    Zen is my main browser. LibreWolf at work for stability. Waterfox works on PC and Android, but I only use it on the latter so can’t vouch for its performance on the former.

    There are even more Firefox forks, but these are the one’s I use.

      The last few months of tech news alone have me feeling like he ain’t answering his ring doorbell.
