Screw you Mozilla
(lemmy.nz)
If this isn't a targetted advert in my browser, I don't know what is.
And here's where you turn it off:
The fact that you can turn it off is a good thing and is why Firefox is a good option.
Yeah like is anyone paying for Firefox? The only reason is still exist are the sponsors. Hell, one of the biggest by far was (is?) Google.
Google only supported it to keep the appearance of competition for chome to keep regulators off their back.
I would be happy to pay them for brave origin equivalent of a stripped down Firefox without the sponsorships. Could use forks or disable stuff but I'm not against paying them for it to support them if that is something they offered.
Firefox just lets you turn all of that off for free, and donate to their non-profit. I don't see a problem paid Firefox would solve.
I wouldn't mind giving money to mozilla if it means we all get a better product that isn't subservient to big tech
That is fair, though I think it would be a tough pill to swallow for most people, and Firefox is neither leading the charts nor do they have any significant advantage over the competition in web browsing to roll out a bold move like this.
It's a tough position. I do use it and hope they make it (*remain in business), just for the sake of competition.
Id happily pay for firefox without their ai bullshit
I also pay for winrar, with a yearly subscription on android, even though im not using it anymore.
And you should too.
