Way too many women with perfect professional portraits. Feels contrived and orchestrated. Where are the toiling C++ engineers on the page?

#62As usual, you see a lot of hate against Mozilla's management team on HN. It makes me wonder, the people who hold these views, do they begrudingly use firefox? Do they use a different browser?
I am on record saying that I think Mozilla's management does not care about Firefox and are milking it to position Mozilla as some kind of big "Internet freedom" player.
I also use Firefox, and I plan to keep using it while waiting for the current managers to get replaced by someone who actually understands that you need a strong browser to even have a place at the table.

I will seriously consider Firefox again when the deplorable Chrome maintainers will kill ad blocking.
Re: State of Mozilla
#66Ironic that this website feels pretty janky on Firefox for Android. The Read link under "Internet by the people for the people" leads to a page that has lots of rendering artifacts as your scroll through it, like colors blinking in, and also it fills your browsing history with every swipe. Below the financial statement and form 990 links there's just tons of blank space separated into different color segments. I have…
I'm running Firefox + uBlock on Android. Works fine. The blocked domains are all Google (unsurprisingly).

They're anti insurrection? What a novel political idea
They should stay out of politics completely. This incident is a matter for law enforcement to deal with, not Mozilla. Mozilla is a tech firm, it's purpose is to develop a Web browser, period. It should not be involved in social policies.
I personally abhor Donald Trump, by the way. But I still think deplatforming and censorship are wrong.

#68(Writing from FF) $7bn. 2.66% market share. "Expanding our Board to create the internet we want" Sure, as long as the music is playing. [Edit] Looks like the music will stop earlier than suspected, https://www.brycewray.com/posts/2023/11/firefox-brink/
Where did you source the $7bn value from?
I have trouble reconciling this with the information present on the financial statement.
They have net assets of $1.2bn, and revenue for the year was $593mn minus $425mn for expenses.

#69Mozilla considered harmful. A bizarre money redistribution (and storage?) operation. The only thing people at large really want from it, Firefox, is an underfunded afterthought. https://lunduke.locals.com/post/4387539/firefox-money-invest...
I really wish Mozilla would stay out of politics, especially identity politics. And I've seen some pro-censorship advocacy from them in the name of Internet "safety."
>I really wish Mozilla would stay out of politics
Mozilla's entire purpose is political.

> the people who hold these views, do they begrudingly use firefox
I do, despite the useless manager parasites who are intent to bleed Firefox dry to fatten themselves up.
If I didn't use Firefox then I'd have no motivation to care that Firefox is grossly mismanaged. It would be not my problem.
