Re: The Mozilla Manifesto
#33The Mozilla Manifesto is very weird when you consider the context. Mozilla as we know it exists solely because Google needs a shield against antitrust investigations, and having a "competitor" browser that only takes 5% of the browser market is why Google pays Mozilla the majority of its revenue. Firefox is literally sponsored by Chrome.

#34Sigh. Looks like Mozilla management hasn’t been able to sense the zeitgeist, after their latest downsizing, so let me spell it out for them: Dear Moz://a management: Everyone is already on board with your ideals of open Internet. What you need to do is get your house in order and focus on your core competency i.e. the web browser and related tooling. You won’t get a seat at the table of Internet biggies if you’re a h…
> Everyone is already on board with your ideals of open Internet. I don't think that's the case. Increasingly content is being placed in walled gardens which you don't get full access to that content unless you have an account. Google is still pushing AMP. Chrome is becoming the new IE, and sites that 'work best' or only work with Chrome are not uncommon. Those (and many other) factors don't indicate to me that every…

I think this has a lot to do with the amazing devtools in Chrome.
Re: The Mozilla Manifesto
#35As someone who has been running my own personal fork off ff for the past half decade because no way the things i want in (and left out) would get adopted due to the conflict of interests at Mozilla, I see these times a great opportunity for more performant adversive additions (and removals of cruft) into browsers directly vs third party addons or custom hacks people may have to do personally now (spoofing data browse…
What changes did you make? I've always wanted to nuke the keybindings and change them to Emacs ones, but never mustered the will.

Programming is hard. Let's go activism-ing.
Re: The Mozilla Manifesto
#38I don't get it. Is Mozilla a Neo-Marxist organization now?
Why don't you talk about software development instead? About building FireFox? About disrupting tech?
It seems Mozilla is now run by people more interested into communism than actually building a fucking software and bringing value to the world. RIP Mozilla.

Re: The Mozilla Manifesto
#40Does Mozilla even follow their own Manifesto? > Individuals’ security and privacy on the Internet are fundamental and must not be treated as optional. So having Google as the default search engine is the right approach for privacy? > Free and open source software promotes the development of the Internet as a public resource. We are still waiting for Pocket's server source code... > Magnifying the public benefit aspec…
> So having Google as the default search engine is the right approach for privacy? That's not their entire approach to privacy. How would you have them exist? There aren't enough people willing to pay for a web browser in 2020. There aren't enough unpaid volunteers to work for free and outcompete Chrome. What would you have Mozilla do? They're trying to develop other services that can actually make them money so they…
> What would you have Mozilla do? They're trying to develop other services that can actually make them money so they don't need Google's money to exist, and people here are shitting on them left and right for this.
charge businesses for Firefox Enterprise Edition, that way businesses are paying for support and funds development towards Firefox.
