#thunderbird

@ryanleesipes can you raise a serious proposal with the board towards changing the legal name, even something simple like Thunderbird Technologies, like whatever.

Once Mozilla and Firefox were an asset to be associated with, I fear that Firefox and Mozilla are both very much tanking in 2025 with their decision to start selling out on user data.

I’ve always loved Firefox and been a strong advocate but the recent changes cut deep, we all know too well the odor that enshitification gives off when companies start to sell out on their users.

#Thunderbird #Firefox #Mozilla #Enshitifcation

@ryanleesipes and AFAIK #Mozilla only has the #Trademark for #Thunderbird and @thunderbird is being granted useage for no fee...

Personally I wish Mozilla would also release #Firefox if not come to an arrangement where @torproject / #TorBrowser becomes the new #Upstream instead.

After all, that"s certainly better re: #privacy and way better than "yet another #Chromium fork" like #BraveBrowser ...

It's time for another Thunderbird Monthly Development Digest! In this month's issue, we have updates on:

* Upstream changes
* EWS features that have landed in Daily
* Our Calendar UI rebuild
* Global Messaging Database work
* The new Account Hub

Just donated to #thunderbird for the first time, prompted by their email campaign.

Huge progress last year. Was fascinating to see a talk by the design team at #fosdem this year.

Keep up the great work team, we're relying on you!

FOSS NEWS

Mozilla launches Thundermail, a Gmail alternative email service with @thundermail email addresses, and Thunderbird Pro, which includes appointment scheduler, file sharing tools, and AI-powered features (Thunderbird Assist):
https://alternativeto.net/news/2025/4/mozilla-launches-thundermail-its-open-source-gmail-alternative-and-thunderbird-pro-services/
(POV it will be killed off after a short time like other Mozilla products lol. There's already Proton Mail, a privacy-focused mail service from a company with a better track record, more than 100 million users, also Tuta for those who don't mind it not being fully FOSS, so I don't really think Thundermail has a shot here, but nice try regardless, at least they try to have some source of income other than Google.)

Firefox 137 released with HEVC playback support on Linux, ability to identify all links in PDF files and turn them into hyperlinks, new options in the Browser Layout section under General settings (vertical tabs, show sidebar); some progressively rolled out features: sign PDF documents, calculator feature for address bar (now you don't have to open the Console tab of dev tools for that lol), tab grouping:
https://9to5linux.com/mozilla-firefox-137-is-now-available-with-hevc-playback-support-on-linux

Firefox 138 beta available new contrast control (same colors for all websites) setting, support for copying links for background tabs using the tabstrip context menu on Linux and macOS, more tab grouping features, new “Report broken site” feature, etc.:

Midori browser gets new ad blocker (Astian Privacy, also available for other Firefox-based browsers), VPN service (utilizing WireGuard, with OpenVPN support planned), search engine AstianGO now has its own indexing:

Inkscape 1.4.1 released with new splash screen, close button added to welcome dialog, collapsible groups in more toolbars, bug fixes and improvements:

@hehemrin Looks nice, but...

- Will it be hosted in the USA?
- Will there be 2FA for checking the mail?

The way things are going I don't want my private stuff in the USA, neither do I want my mail to be accessible with a simple password, which is the way IMAP still works. So I'll most probably stick with @Tutanota

L'équipe de @thunderbird travaille sur une suite de services incluant un service d'e-mails (avec webmail), sous licence libre https://blog.thunderbird.net/2025/04/thundermail-and-thunderbird-pro-services/

Non, #Google ne proposera pas un vrai #chiffrement de bout en bout sur #Gmail. Le mécanisme proposé n'est pas considéré comme un véritable chiffrement "E2EE" par certains experts. En effet, il implique un serveur de gestion de clés interne à l'entreprise.

Mieux vaut utiliser soit #protonmail soit #thunderbird avec #gpg et une adresse mail chez un hébergeur non #gafam respectant les #donneespersonnelles

I've been a #Thunderbird user for quite a few years now, so I thought it was time for a little donation.

Imposible responder con uno.
