This community is devoted to the respectful and reasoned criticism of Mozilla, the company behind Firefox Web Browser.

I want Firefox to succeed but, in my opinion, Mozilla is slowly killing it by trying to make it mainstream, leading to a net loss of long-time users. This community serves as a place where to show your disagreement with Mozilla and to point out flaws in Firefox development.

That's a really weird article.

She moved to firefox because she liked the features. When firefox started accepting crypto she decided to go back to safari. Mozilla accepted cc for a week. One week. And she doesn't switch back to firefox because mozilla might accept cc in the future. Wtf. She uses an apple product and probably not only one apple product. She should look up what a hypocrite is. That article is just for shitting on firefox and cc while promoting herself as being green and caring about the environment. I don't even want to look into other shitposts of her.

  • You do not get to decide what a shitpost is and what not, this is her opinion and view on things. Please respect code of conduct of Lemmy and stop calling other peoples opinion shitposts, some just do not like crypto or understand it. Not everyone is an expert and everyone has other values. This is normal and not weird.
  • It is a blog post not an article, experienced based blog post based on her experience. She says that she is a blogger in the about page.
  • It is her opinion and experience and not to shit on Firefox.
  • People left Chrome, Opera etc. for way less than what Mozilla did.

Next time I see such smear post like this I report it.

  • a blog post is an article, it is not a news article.
  • the other day I saw a video how two guys unlocked the same device with their (obviously differing) fingerprints. It looked like they shared their experience but they just trolled the viewers. Don't judge a book by its cover.

She directly writes that she is a blogger + the writes posts and not articles on her Wordpress blog page. It is an blog post. Maybe actually learn the difference before yo claim wrongfully something.

You are intentionally rude to others and call their opinion shitsposts, that is the bottom line. Yes I do judge you by this.

It is a series of paragraphs with low quality content, i.e. shitpost. Doesn't matter if it's fact or opinion, if it's low quality it's shit.

It is her opinion. What you post here is to smear her blog post. But I expect nothing less from toxic fanboys.

Only low-quality I have seen here is coming from you. People, especially like environmentalists like her care about such things like bitcoin and so because they think it is a problem, which is not entirely wrong.

Finally we get to the topic :)

Apple is not environmental friendly. That was my point. If she'd really care, she wouldn't use apple products.

I know that bitcoin is a waste of ressources, although much of the energy is green energy and wouldn't be used otherwise. But mozilla also accepted doge which is not that bad. She could just use doge and tell the world how bad bitcoin is and that people shall use doge instead. Or even better use a really environmental friendly cc like iota, nano, etc.

  • There is not much browser choice at all, especially on iOS. Safari is proven to be secure and considerable privacy friendly for Apple standards. Safari, last time I checked did not accept crypto, which was her point in switching.
  • Mozilla did no research on the crypto topic, they could have used more climate friendly options, they exists, instead they did exactly what the mainstream does. Mozilla is not better and people expected higher standards from Mozilla which is why they got criticized from their own creators.
  • Your argument that Mozilla accepts crypto only for one week is wrong. Mozilla began accepting bitcoin for donations in 2014.

Coin system per see is not bad, mining is. This is what you, Mozilla and whole lots of people do not understand. The transaction from purely transaction in crypto is much more environment friendly than tradition banking systems, but people abuse everything to cash-gab others and selfish profit reason, alias mining.

You had no point at all, you tried to undermine and bash someones opinion which you do not like, this is baseless defending and toxic as well as disrespectful. Does not surprise me why more people leave Firefox, because lots of people do nothing to improve the product at all, instead they defend Moz wrongdoing.

We're done here. Shall others fight a war they can't win.

Mozilla already lost, I agree here .. trust.. users and reputation.
