How Mozilla Ruined Firefox
www.youtube.com
Firefox used to be on top of the world with almost a third of all internet users using Firefox. These days, they make up a pitiful 2.7% of the market share. ...

Actually pretty good video.

  • Search engine
  • Google location service instead of their own (which they quit)
  • FakeSpot & Pocket collecting crazy personalized data

Also info about difference between Mozilla Corporation and MZLA Nonprofit.

If you donate to Mozilla, nothing goes to Firefox. Instead they host petitions and beg big tech companies to be more transparent.

They dont focus on old users at all, and it seems they are unable to implement basic stuff.

I still recommend using Firefox, but with the Arkenfox userJS.

Or just use Librewolf.

Firefox is not usable. And dont donate to Mozilla I guess.

    It really is crazy if you see the hype for the “sovereign tech fund” for GNOME, that was literally just 1mio€.

    It is so insane how people can waste so much money.

    When donating, nowadays I am often very certain that giving money to homeless people will always be better than giving it random “nonprofit” “charities” that will simply sustain their 1st world lifes as “operation expenses”.
