Mozilla Introduces Firefox’s First-Ever Terms of Use
Mozilla introduced a Terms of Use and updated its Privacy Notice, ensuring that this way Firefox offers more data collection and use transparency.
I will stick with Firefox for the time being. One must not forget that Firefox provides the basis for all the alternatives listed here. Despite all the controversy surrounding Mozilla, I still think Firefox is the better alternative to Chrome. And I would like to support this at least until there is a truly free browser. My hope is that Ladybird will be a success. However, it will take at least another 1-2 years until development is so far advanced that it can be used as a browser for everyday use. Until then, I think we should all continue to support Firefox so that it doesn't disappear completely from the market.
I kind of wish browsers would use cooler names, not "ladybird". Look at Brave. Pretty bad browser, surrounded in questionable stuff, but pretty much estabilished userbase nearly instantly, and I feel like much of that success is simply thanks to a catchy name
Firefox main problem with profitability relevance. They need more people to get people to use their tools
So I just have two questions.
- How does this get new users?
- How does this help retention?
The only answer is it doesn't and we don't care because we're going to cash out.
I'm not running away, I'll still open Firefox tomorrow like yesterday because the browser landscape is terrible and the shadow of what Firefox was is still good.
But I'm looking for the disruptor because as questionable as a lot of the new smaller browsers are, there are people out there trying and it's going to happen.
I'm waiting for Ladybird
I remember reading a lot this past year about Mozilla fretting about their market share and trying to figure out how to grow their user base. Did I hallucinate that? Cuz their actions lately appear to be driving users away. Are they taking notes from Google or is there some other MBA making these brilliant changes?
I am very averse to companies breaking my trust.
Mozilla can win it back by explicitly stating what they are collecting, why they are collecting it, and making opt out the default.
We know and that's why I dumped Firefox after 15+ years.
LibreWolf and Floorp is all I have. Oh and I kicked Thunderbird to the curb too for BetterBird.
very cool. thanks for sharing this. they even have an official flatpak.
Thunderbird has always been crap. Betterbird is truly better
Betterbird wouldn't exist without thunderbird though. Same with all those firefox forks people are recommending, if Firefox goes under most of those would go under too.
Thunderbird has improved a lot in recent years and I've been using it without problems
The primary reason I hated Thunderbird, was because it would always drop authentication whenever I tried sending e-mail from my Outlook address. Yeah I can see mail coming in for my Outlook e-mail, but I also wanted to send too and I always had to go over to Outlook and deal with the awful and confusing UI to send mail.
I had just tested BetterBird's capability by sending an e-mail from my Outlook address to one of my GMails and no issues. So, fuck Thunderbird.
Zen has been really nice for the few days I’ve been using it. It feels real sleek and just more modern over all.
My computer is a bit old though and I wonder if there is something similar that is even lighter on resources. Zen is still pretty dang light though.
Anyone have any good iOS alternatives? I’m eyeing Orion currently
After reading this comment, I downloaded it and am liking it so far. Thanks for spreading the word about it!
Bye Firefox. Boy we had some good times, huh.

I knew it!
The sentence reads:

Are you trying to make a joke or intentionally mislead the people who didn't read the article?
Take my upvote, no honor to your house, though ;)
