#Pale moon gets shit for not submitting to Google and Facebook standards of the web

also this guy has a PeerTube instance, which is his channel. I like his Mozilla discourse. So real. Mozilla browsers are our last stand for existing on that net. And really, they are accommodating OUR DEMAND to use nonfree websites with their privacy friendly browser, which CAN be hardened and that is exactly what LibreWolf is, in function---besides other edits the fork, the one I know of being JXL available behind a flag in about: config.

The discourse I hear that is actually bad about Firefox indeed selling data is the speculation about them moving to AI. People have their own reasons for thinking AI is shit, and for me--that is the failure to follow Unix philosophy / Ockham's razor / KISS by making tools more convoluted and less modular. A lot of open source is taking the path of "oh we can use AI... But for good!" But I find dependency on supercomputers for the consumer to be InHERENTLy EVIL. You're putting all your expert volunteer work into making computers less accessible! Yikes! If Mozilla wants to take this path, then it is their choice, which is kind of the consumers' fault for thinking it is a good idea. We demand and Mozilla supplies.

And if you don't agree with their mission to supply the average Joe with the tools they desire to destroy the planet, then you must take to forking (I don't have knowledge do that) and using independent alternatives (I need to do this, with Fediverse). But Mozilla is not your enemy, Google is. And Google, with all their power and domination over informatics in search engines and open source projects including framework like electron, is messing with Mozilla. Did you know that Kiwix, which is an altruistic software to provide Wikipedia access to places without the net for educational purposes, used to be built with XULrunner? But the software devs switched to Electron after Mozilla deprecated XUL. They handed off power to Google ten years ago. It's been like this for a long time.
