We choose humanity, we choose collective power.

Just put the security updates into Firefox, come on man. Ain’t nobody need you for anything.

Now where the hell is my split view? I like the vertical tabs, but give me my split view.

note the 2001-style not-Flash intro. the fake captcha. the timecube-esque prattle about AI threatening humanity. “DO NOT ACCEPT DEFAULT SETTINGS”. the ASCII art cop finger in the footer of the main page. all of it. what in fuck is this.

The not-Flash intro and the ascii art are cool. I wish more websites did creative things like that.

edit: to be clear, I mean the loading screen that looks like a terminal window, the racoon video that rapidly flashes between different camera angles because AI video generators can’t maintain coherence for more than a few seconds is bad

It’s nifty how there’s no way to leave a comment about their “rebel alliance”. I wonder if the dems will steal that marketing pablum.

As in the web era, it’s going to take a powerful community to win. Today Mozilla is gathering a rebel alliance of sorts, a growing network of open source developers, responsible startups, fellows, philanthropists and public-interest technologists working to shape what the internet becomes.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooof, what happened to mozilla?

Look at how slowly we are jumping off this cliff

Oh gods, the actual stateof articl is written by an LLM. RIP Mozilla.

Ooo time for my Firefox rant.

For months now my mobile Firefox has had a glitch where the enter button on web searches does not work. Sometimes it takes upwards of 10 seconds to process, sometimes it doesn’t process at all, sometimes it will process twice and send me back to search results when I’m already reading a page. But weirdly the suggested searches work perfectly, so I’ve been forced into the habit of clicking on those instead, much to my chagrin. This is just annoying enough to bother me, but not annoying enough to make me change browsers, because it’s also what I use for school and work and the desktop version doesn’t have this issue.

At least they seem to be spinning the ai crap away from Firefox.

Don’t developers understand that AI is a technological tool that at worst is destroying the environment and will produce nothing of importance, and at best is going to replace all developers? Why would developers choose to use, let alone advertise and advocate for the use of, AI, when it’s literally going to put them out of a job?
