This is your daily reminder that Firefox and its derivatives exist and should be used wherever possible if you care about Google not having a monopoly over the internet. There's even a Firefox-based version of Discord called Datcord.
Firefox is the only reasonable alternative to the Chrome monopoly right now, yes, but they too are going bad, we need more alternatives
Ladybird isn't ready yet but one to keep an eye on.
Nope, not going to use anything from Mozilla. They don't even deserve the minuscule market share they have right now. I want them to disappear.
So you want Google to have a true monopoly over the browser market?
I remember IE6, it was great!
I just want Mozilla to die. Anything else is irrelevant.
But why? I get that it's bad that Mozilla has to except money from Google and such to fund their development, but Firefox and Thunderbird are damn nice pieces of software that are way better than anything else on the market.
If you say so...
What happened that made you so mad at Mozilla?
shit like this makes me annoyed I joined an instance without down voting
Yeah, dowvnvotes would surely make you better.
it wouldnt make me anything
Then use a fork.
Nope, still.giving market share to gecko, thus to Mozilla.
As long as you're not giving market share to chromium...
I am.
I just uninstalled Firefox yesterday after it came out that they are collecting user data by default. If I'm going to be tracked either way, I might as well use the browser that's actually supported on sites I use so I don't have to keep ignoring the "Firefox is not supported and some features may not work" warnings 5x a day.
