In September 2023, Steve Teixeira was the respected and successful Chief Product Officer of Mozilla Corporation and poised to become Mozilla Corporation’s next CEO. But on October 3, 2023, he was diagnosed with ocular melanoma and soon went on a 90 day medical leave for treatment. Immediately upon his return, Mozilla campaigned to demote or terminate Mr. Teixeira citing groundless concerns and assumptions about his capabilities as an individual living with cancer. Interim Chief Executive Officer Laura Chambers and Chief People Officer Dani Chehak were clear with Mr. Teixeira: he could not continue as Chief Product Officer and could not continue as a Mozilia employee in any capacity beyond 2024—because of his diagnosis. When Mr. Teixeira opposed this discriminatory action, Mozilla responded by unilaterally placing him on indefinite administrative leave, effectively disappearing both Mr. Teixeira and his complaints of discrimination. Mozilla has discriminated and retaliated against Mr. Teixeira in violation of the Washington Law Against Discrimination. Mozilla has also unlawfully shared his personal health information, and unlawfully sought to gag his speech about illegal discrimination and retaliation.

The author may be a right-wing fellow. Nonetheless, the data he exposes are taken from official Mozilla docs.

Mozilla, Thunderbird, and/or the EFF,

Do you know that donation to Mozilla don't (and can't legally) fund Firefox development, right? (opposite to what happens for Thunderbird, actually).

But, hey, you can guarantee Mozilla's CEO a better retirement:

Thus, your money are better spent donating to Thunderbird or EFF or whatever other foundation that does something actually useful.

Obligatory use Firefox

No way. Why should I feel obligated to use something I feel has inferior UX and UI than the browser I'm using now? For Mozilla's CEO to rais her wage (again): https://calpaterson.com/mozilla.html ?

You people are really delusional if you really think that Mozilla are the only good guys (or good guys at all, for that matters).

Inb4, unimaginative people downvoting just because they can't stand different opinions.

Thanks, I already knew about the "unfuck" fix made by Black. Too late for me, anyway. I have realized that Mozilla doesn't care about feedbak or users' opinion (or the users at all...), so I don't feel like supporting them anymore.

By the way, the fix is fine. But it is a matter of principle: people shouldn't have to waste their time unfucking Mozilla's fuckups and users shouldn't have to waste their time trying to make a browser usable. So, congrats, Moz Corp, you've managed to lose an hardcore user.

Yup, the new FF UI is unbearable. And it was the last straw (among other things) that convinced me that it was time to switch to something else (after 20 years).

I may agree with him/her, I may not. But that's unreadable.

Just disable score in your profile settings, man. That's what I did. Score has no point, really. If someone disagrees with you, they can either ignore you or expose their reasoning. Votes are useless.

  • Linux (generally speaking)
  • KDE as a whole
  • Tusky
  • Brave as a browser
  • Bitwarden/vaultwarden

Because it works through Blutooth.

Pdfsam for merging/splitting/etc. For creating PDF from bunch of images you may try Libreoffice Draw, for instance.

The CEO also has some controversial views on the Corona virus and LGBTQ rights.

Completely unrelated to "security" or "privacy".

By default? I think so.

https://privacytests.org/

(these test are done with browsers at their defaults). Librewolf is on par with Brave, but I vehemently hate its interface and refuse to unfuck it wasting my time on CSS.

I'm on Brave as well since 2021, after almost 20 years of being an avid FF user and supporter. I don't like how FF is evolving and what Mozilla is doing and I don't buy the "Chromium domination" argument. If the sole reason to use FF is that "it is not Chromium", well, the developers aren't doing a great job.

However, let's be real: privacy on a browser matters until you go to whatever website that track you on the server side (Google/Facebook/Youtube/Whatever), or when you write an email from from you Gmail account, or when you buy stuff on Amazon... And so on. Just use the browser that works best for you and don't be paranoid.

That's likely a mistake that will be corrected before the stable release. /s
