Mozilla is officially dead to me now. I feel foolish for donating to them, but that was a while ago when I thought they had a smidgen of a chance left. But now they have decided to go "fully beyond the point of no return" with their new CEO and "AI strategy" now.

They lost the rendering engine wars to Chromium despite their initial victory in the 2000s over Internet Explorer (They had 30% market share at one point). They completely failed in Mobile (I still have a now non functional Firefox phone), they failed in extensions after they destroyed XUL. The ONLY thing they have left is ublock origin, but most people don't care about ads and actually like buying things.

I currently use Edge now, yes it's Chromium but Ladybird and Servo will always be cockblocked by Cloudflare unless you bribe hiro $30 (and that's only 1 site out of millions that use Cloudflare) so can even post on 4chan with them.

Mozilla deserves to be replaced like XFree86 was replaced by Xorg and then by XLibre, not just a softfork that is just git cherrypicking like all the current forks, but an actual true new foundation and true "new Phoenix" (Mozilla historians know what I mean) that disables all enshittification and does not take Google blood money.

And a lot of the same talking points apply to the Wikimedia Foundation who take 99% of users donations to spend on Woke politics instead of just hosting the wiki servers.

If you were around for version 3.6 and you didn't leave them wriggling in their own piss and shit, but you are willing to walk away because of AI, then you are a giant faggot. Mozilla has been dead to me for over a decade; I hope they go down in flames.

Try Ironfox or Iceraven both good forks of Firefox

You donated to Mozilla Foundation.
The browser is made by Mozilla Corporation.

Mozilla has control of who lets in their extension store and who can sign extensions. Mozilla knows that if Google gives them enough of a bribe ublock will be kicked out for being too powerful.

>Mozilla knows that if Google gives them enough of a bribe ublock will be kicked out for being too powerful
I think most of mozilla users are there for adblock, if they block it they will just jump ship
>>
>>107581833
Mozilla is already just 2% of the market, any "ships to jump to" remaining will easily be detectable by fingerprinters.

So what's the alternative?
>>
>>107581932
there is none right now, except some hobbyist forks, which I personally don't trust, and maybe Ladyboy browser in 10 years.
I just switched back to chrome, at least the engine is better than firefoxs, I am tired and dont give a shit anymore.
>>
>>107581958
Problem with ladybird is it has funding from capitalist fucks so it's probably going to be a dud as well.
>>
>>107581932
Fucking SeaMonkey and next query ends a soul
>>
>>107581032
I was just thinking about how bad the internet has become. Realistically it wouldn't hurt that much to not have a browser anymore. Every shop you order from fingerprints you anyway so you may as well use their apps.

What a grim and depressing capitalist hellscape the world has become.
>>
>>107581032
stop being lazy and harden it yourself.

Holy fucking shit I'm fucking dead LMAO

For what purpose? What website is worth that much effort?
>>
>>107582130
>What website is worth that much effort?
It's not about what website is worth the effort. It's about the browsing experience you get. Increased speed, zero telemetry, excellent privacy, no slop.
>>
>>107581999
checked!
yeah this made me a bit suspicious too, but hey, KDE and GNOME and the Linux colonel are getting money from them too
>>
>>107582192
>Increased speed
>website doesn't load because you are using a shit browser
hurr durr
>>
>>107582239
never had problems with my hardened firefox. I only had problems with forks like waterfox in which the "developers" couldn't make the browser support more than 3 codecs.
>>
>>107582192
Yeah but you'll constantly be trying to unfuck compatibility problems on top of keeping it secure. I'm asking what websites are actually worth browsing the internet for as a whole? The web is basically dead as it is so why bother at this point? I could understand if we were in the mid 00s still but everything has become enshitified.

Why is Mozilla so strapped for cash?
>>
>>107582330
They aren't, technically. Its just that most of its funneled away to other shit. There were questions of possible money laundering a year or so ago when we got to see their rather suspicious looking financials
>>
I will continue using Firefox because it's not Chromium-based, simple as.
>>
>>107582353
and I will not
>>
>>107582302
what kind of logic is this? If you need to use a browser, optimize it. If you think that the internet is dead and worthless then why you are posting here? You don't make sense.
>>
>>107582387
What's next, if you need to use websites, just make your own?
>>
Thanks, but I'm still sticking with Firefox (ESR 115).
>>
>>107582387
Why should anyone use a web browser to post on 4chan?

Also
>If you think that the internet is dead and worthless then why you are posting here?
Very good question. When the board is filled with retards like you, why do I continue coming here? Old habits are hard to break, I suppose.
>>
Didn't normal people just want something they can use to open their emails, watch youtube, and shop? Am I just out of touch? What does an ai browser even mean?
>>
>>107582397
>What's next, if you need to use websites, just make your own?
actually yes, if you don't like the websites of the current internet make your own.
>>107582414
>Why should anyone use a web browser to post on 4chan?
So you are saying that the only website you are browsing is 4chan and that you never use a browser to browse any other website and you only use a 4chan app or frontend of some short? That sound like BS. You are just a lazy retard who thinks other people should serve you with the software you would like to have. I have to workout now lazy faggot, I read enough BS for today.

Which websites do you use? Aside from store fronts which are basically all the same front end or shopify slop. The web is dead.
