    I wouldn't have a problem with Mozilla doing other things if they did it well and it didn't involve them compromising on their values.

    I use a Firefox fork too, but do you think it would continue to be around without Mozilla? It's sad to see them squander an opportunity to do good work. Mozilla should have gone al…

    Isn't the Mozilla Foundation (non-profit org) distinct from Mozilla Corporation?

    I use one of their competitors (Sleepme Ooler) but they're not great either. Did not know about aquarium chillers, that seems like a better option. Could probably pair it with Home…

    It also breaks support for integrating with the 1Password desktop app.

    I thought it might be similar to Orion based on the submission title, but it looks like a rebranded Firefox (which is great). This is what Mozilla should be doing.

    Looks like it supports Firefox extensions such as uBlock Origin as well. Surprised the website didn't mention it. Wonder if this still applies: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wi…

    What did hCaptcha do that was anti-user? reCAPTCHA is awful. This is my experience on a daily basis if I make the mistake of trying to use it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_TsZ…

    They copied it a little bit, but it's very mouse oriented (option-click the green zoom button to snap windows to left/right). Another option for this is Hammerspoon, e.g.: https://…
