The author may be a right-wing fellow. Nonetheless, the data he exposes are taken from official Mozilla docs.
biscuitsofdeath ( @biscuitsofdeath@lemmy.ml ) English39•11 months agoI read through it and I don’t know what the issue is?
There seems to be an issue with Mozilla supporting diversity and inclusion. Also he has an issue with them having enough money to run the business. I.e. not living paycheck to paycheck.
This article is nothing.
Gargari ( @Gargari@lemmy.ml ) English11•11 months agoGreat post. Does it matter if it’s right or left wing? How did you concluded that
mplewis ( @mplewis@lemmy.globe.pub ) English22•11 months agoIt absolutely matters. We need to consider that a right-wing actor is likely to exaggerate claims against an organization that is ostensibly socially-minded and represents anti-corporate interests, like Mozilla.
El_Rocha ( @El_Rocha@lm.put.tf ) 2•11 months agoOrganization represents anti-corporate interests.
CEO gets paid almost all donations despite poor performance.
Seems pretty corporate interests to me.
mplewis ( @mplewis@lemmy.globe.pub ) 1•11 months agoI’m not denying that Mozilla has a history of poor governance. But they are the competitor to Google here. You need to consider these things in context to understand what anti-corporate means for the internet.
El_Rocha ( @El_Rocha@lm.put.tf ) 2•11 months agoThe only reason they’re a competitor to Google is because Google allows them to be by giving them money for the default search engine.
They’re just sailing their boat until it sinks.
• milan • ( @Milan@feddit.nl ) 13•11 months agoThe author clearly has an issue with the money going to left-wing orgs specifically. They’re making a big point out of all the antiracism and one of their bullet points asks why Mozilla has no problem alienating their user base.
Gargari ( @Gargari@lemmy.ml ) English9•11 months agoI moved from FF to Vivaldi (couldn’t find better browser, and form that to LibreWolf) due to how shitty the Mozilla Corp is. We need a fair player here but doesn’t seem that we gonna have anything anytime soon
Evkob ( @Evkob@lemmy.ca ) 26•11 months agoMozilla is shitty, so you’re opting for Google instead? That’s like saying the air quality is bad, and opting to jump in the ocean and drown.
Gargari ( @Gargari@lemmy.ml ) English14•11 months agoI said I moved back to LibreWolf (Firefox fork)
Evkob ( @Evkob@lemmy.ca ) 7•11 months agoOh sorry, my reading comprehension is clearly lacking :P I’ve been eyeing LibreWolf for a while, but I’m mostly too lazy to switch my addons over.
𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒏 ( @lemann@lemmy.one ) 4•11 months agoI made the same mistake lol, thought OC said he moved to Vivaldi and previously tried librewolf
Catweazle ( @Catweazle@social.vivaldi.net ) 2•11 months ago@Evkob @Gargari, this is not so clear, Mozilla has made a pact with the devil some years ago and is sponsored by Google, it even employs several Google devs who develop FF, the risk of depending on outside investors. Chromium is certainly from Google, but it is, just like Gecko, FOSS and therefore every browser developer is free to gut it, throwing out any Google API, which they are doing in Vivaldi (leaving some to the user’s choice in settings), no homecalls to Google.
https://www.cnet.com/news/privacy/a-dangerous-conflict-of-interest-between-firefox-and-google/ Flaky ( @Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi ) English1•11 months agoFWIW, Vivaldi attracts a lot of the FF power users that updates like Quantum abandoned. Vivaldi honestly wipes the floor with Firefox feature-wise especially for tab organisation, but the fact it’s Chromium might push some people away.
It would’ve been nice if they used Gecko, but eh. I went from FF to Vivaldi to now, the Firefox fork Pulse. It’s a bit janky sometimes, but with native vertical tabs and the Simple Tab Groups add-on I love it enough to use it as my main browser, and there’s little to no bloat. There’s also Floorp, another Firefox fork, this time from a Japanese community, which AFAIK predates Pulse and is inspired by Vivaldi, implementing some of its features like Tab Workspaces. Worth mentioning for those wanting a more Vivaldi-like experience.
