Reminder brave browser only exits because it's founder got kicked from Mozilla for being anti lgbt

He's been known too donate to groups that'd have lgbt rights removed and publicly hated the legislation of gay marriage

Follow

@julia_

Please do something about too, they pay their CEO an absurd amount of money, they spend money on useless left-y political campaigns, they take money from Google, they still haven't open sourced Pocket after years, they wanted to accept cryptocurrencies as donations and so on...

@post

No I won't I like Mozilla, what they are doing and were their taking their projects

(AlsonI don't see accepting crypto as a donation as a bad thing but as accessibility thing not every can/wants to use paypal for donations)

why would I criticise a person
or group for doing what id like them to do??
@post I mean you could "do something about Mozilla" no ones going to stop you

@julia_

Care to reply to the rest too and not only on accepting cryptocurrencies (the only thing they retracted after community outcry)? Are you really OK with what Mozilla became in the recent years? I am not.

There is LibreWolf if you want to promote the diversity of web engines without supporting Mozilla.

@julia_

Also just opened Twitter to check Firefox profile and found a very bad thing:

twitter.com/firefox/status/161

They just promoted VPNs as something "private". There is nothing private about a VPN provider, the acronym stands for the technology involved not to the service.

Very bad for Mozilla that once promoted privacy on the Web.

@post That's clearly just a brand trying to be funny

Also Mozilla VPN is pretty good like not perfect but pretty good if you understand what vpns do and don't do

Since it's using mullvad as the backend with a nicer ui

@julia_

No, sorry, promoting VPN providers as private is something I can't tolerate from Mozilla.

@post maybe that's a you problem then because you've been sounding silly just going Mozilla bad, mozilla bad, mozilla bad over and over
@post yes i am ok with Mozilla

also I've used librewolf before been watching it since it started
Librewolf it is just Firefox with preaplyed config that breaks a bunch of sites that's all

That's all you can also do everything librewolf does in less then 10mins with https://ffprofile.com/ so there's no point in me using or recommend it long term

@julia_

It's way easier to just install LibreWolf. Many people need an "install" icon. LibreWolf is on FlatHub so it's a great choice for Linux users.

Also no Mozilla branding, no more trademarked Firefox.

@post firefox is also on flathub??? Its alsl preinstalled on most desktop and workstation Linux distros did no don't see your point there

Also firefox dosnt brake alot of sites by default so it ends up in about the same not less amount of effort to use Firefox with a config than to use librewolf

@julia_

I was talking about using ffprofile.com/ in less then 10 min etc vs clicking "install" for LibreWolf.

If you read more carefully maybe...

@post eh whatever maybe you shoudnt be so passive aggressive and word things better

@julia_

Sorry, I just wanted to understand people who are OK with Mozilla but not with Brave.

Like, Mozilla are the good guys and Brave the bad ones... come on...

This is not about Firefox, it's about from where Mozilla takes money, how they use them and questionable decisions like buying Pocket, promise to make it Open Source but instead keeping it proprietary and poorly integrating it in Firefox with multiple flags needed to disable it.

Then there is the decision of not turning Gecko in something that can compete with CEF and the reasons we have so many Chromium-based browsers.

There is the decision of giving up on (real) PWA for desktop despite Mozilla promoted the concept ante literam even with a Web based mobile OS.

And I can go on for a while... Mozilla has become a disgrace for Firefox in the recent years, way worse for us than Brave that is just another Chromium-based browser.
