I’ve been seeing a lot of information lately about mozilla, and a lot of questionable claims being made about their “direction.” The bulk of their revenue comes from google, and I have been working very hard to de-google everything I can. I have moved away from drive, gmail, search, etc.

I am using Fedora on all my computers, and am logged into firefox on each of them so I have complete sync with all my devices. Are the posts I am seeing blown out of proportion, or should I be looking for another browser?

Thanks in advance!

    Such a shame about ladybird, sounds very promising but opinions like that do real damage to the image of a project

        As much as it seems that they shouldn’t, they do. Those people are leading and if they let their personal opinions hang over into their work, it matters. People will not want to contribute or be associated with people with those opinions and views and some people that would have been contributers will feel persecuted.

          How does code reflect opinions on politics? I would understand that some people might feel threatened in interacting with them but other than that I do not follow the problem, especially in using their software. It is in everybody’s best interest that a new browser comes up to challenge the existing choices.

            I guess that is the point, you are saying you don’t understand why it should be a problem, but other people do think it is a problem, thus there is a problem. You thinking it shouldn’t be a problem does not negate the problem. Problem.
