I just want a browser with which I can have several hundred tabs open with ad blocking and dark mode, that's all I'm asking
Fuck you for wanting simple things.
Get in line!
LadyBird, coming to you (finished mostly) circa 2028 or 2029.
Damn, orbit is already shutting down? I mean, what do they have left?
I recall they said it would be open sourced when it left beta. I wonder if they'll still release it once it's defunct.
They said Pocket would be open sourced when they bought it seven years ago
Any day now...
it's going to let you use
glorified autocorrectAI of your choice in a sidebar instead, so it's not like it's fully gonePeople use other Firefox services??
I moved to Waterfox months ago, partly because I don’t need those extra services, or ads for them, baked into my browser.
Hey, remember when Mozilla made that thing that gave them their name ? Good times. Point is, Mozilla's actual name represents it giving up on something.
Add them to the list, https://killedbymozilla.com/.
Thanks to Mozilla for giving us all these things, and showing us that they are possible to make and use.
Want them to stay alive, then give Mozilla some money. It's typical childish to blame the free software, to not spend a lot of money to keep your behind cost-free...
You technically cannot give Firefox money. It's grabbed by the CEO for his salary.
You should, technically, take a look at their report of money-spending... But hey, feel free to support anything else. The big tech companies loves a divided opposition.
In 2024 they gave $26M to leadership development, AI, climate justice, ethics, art, etc. They dont even mention Firefox. They still have a CEO too that gets a lot of that money.
And the CEO get's too much money in general. Still, they are "the" leader of the Open Source solutions, and not just in the browser area...
Sounds good for Firefox and Mozilla. I support it.
