Lovely. Mozilla should be advancing the web in similar ways in Firefox.
They’re too busy taking down MDN, firing talented engineers, diverse-hiring non-developers and funding feminist Wordpress-setup camps these days for that to ever happen. Mozilla today is not the Mozilla we knew.
I'm not affiliated with them in any way.

That headline is certainly inflammatory, but I don't think the actual content of the post is nearly as bad - they're not suggesting web browser start flagging/blocking sites or anything similar like it initially made me think. They're simply suggesting further transparency in algorithmic suggestions and research be conducted. You could even argue that they're suggesting that deplatforming simply isn't the ultimate so…
You're right that the content itself doesn't suggest Firefox doing something troubling, but the headline certainly does. It bothers me much more from a company known for privacy than it would from someone else.

Which criticisms? I've just started using it after Firefox's blog post
Perhaps this? The Brave web browser is hijacking links, and inserting affiliate codes https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/2020/06/06/the-brave-we... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23442027

Probably the one by the Mozilla CEO, "We need more than deplatforming"[1] 1: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2021/01/08/we-need-more-than-d...
Mozilla's current CEO is like the opposite of what Firefox used to stand for... I can't wait to switch for something better. I think that he really likes the Google dollars. Disabling most add-ons in Firefox Mobile, really? I still use the old engine (Fennec) even if it probably makes me vulnerable. And there's a bunch of other problems that make the new Fenix engine less useful then Fennec... I don't even know what…
Mozilla promised us Tor integration, IPFS integration and more private browsing by default. Brave delivered it all.
Thank you for the support!
See also the Beaker peer-to-peer web browser. I love how much simpler it is to host websites, from the browser - the real read/write web!! I'm not affiliated with them in any way. https://beakerbrowser.com/ https://docs.beakerbrowser.com/faq#what-does-beaker-do-bette...
