A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
Had it saved on my hard drive for years and recently re-discovered it. Seems to be from 2011 (!!)
Google is getting worse by the year, but it seems even back then some people were already seeing where things were going.

Here is another, more recent one: https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/110786543576495517
A uBlock Origin shield! Amazing.
David Revoy is a cool artist. He only uses free software for his work.
Now I need an uBlock shield mod for Tunic.
Holy fucking shit. Now I want this depicted in a short film
Chrome succeeded in killing Internet Explorer, but it turned out to be a Wheatley-Replaces-GLaDOS situation...
"COULD A MORON"
-Youtube gets anti adblock popup
"PUNCH YOU INTO THIS PIT?
-Playback gets stopped for people not giving up their private information
"HUH? COULD A MORON DO THAT?"
-Web integrity API destroys modern Internet
"Uh oh"
"Alright. So that last test was... seriously disappointing. Apparently being civil isn't motivating you. So let's try things her way... fatty. Adopted fatty. Fatty fatty no-parents."
perfectly interpreted. this is fucking art. thank you.
Power corrupts.

I thought it was AI generated!!!
Google funds most of Mozilla, unfortunately.
And although Mozilla continues to launch new services, its CEOs have not stopped increasing their salaries.
Is this through donations, or through google search default?
From my understanding, this is from setting Google as the default search engine.
Honestly, I don’t blame them for taking it. The Mozilla corporation has done a lot of good for the modern internet.
Agreed. It's a shit system that needs reform or we all die, but for not it's all about lesser evils
I worry about many of Firefox's decisions (they've been going off script worryingly frequently), but funding the org with this one concession seems acceptable to me
they're also using Google location services instead of Mozilla ones by default (this only matters if you have disabled native os geolocation service)
It's for the search engine, correct.
Which is meaningless as most Firefox users tend to switch to alternatives like duckduckgo
So the fox is confused and fighting its own survival through battling its foe?
They pay to set the search engine to Google.
Something most Firefox users will change to something like Duckduckgo
Didn't Microsoft prop up Apple at one point specifically to avoid becoming a monopoly and getting regulated as such?
Don't forget Tor and Mullvad standing proudly with them.
Browser anime confirmed

This is gorgeous for so many reasons
Where y'all getting this bombass Firefox art? Never seen more in my life than on Lemmy. It's so raw
I actually have the same image saved on my drive.
Now I have it too
I love it. Thanks for sharing
I love the ripples and airy feel of the tail and fog
hard wallpaper 🔥
I think its evil against corrupted at this point
Don't you dare say something informed while the circle-jerk is going on.
The art is nice, but it doesn't take away from the fact that you are spot on and some numbnuts vote you down. Story of the internet.
And because you gotta bring receipts: https://itdm.com/mozilla-firefox-usage-down-85-but-why-are-execs-salary-up-400/2050/
Honestly, Mozilla needs new leadership. The non profit is fine but the company has so much potential and could be way more profitable and useful. Instead of making things people want to buy or use they keep choosing the wrong path.
What they should do is partner with Nextcloud to bring a google drive competitor to the market. This wouldn't happen while they are receiving payouts by google
For a second I thought the next Pokémon game went Grimdark.
The hands must be bigger, so they can ripp all the data out of the victims.
Because we knew in 2011 too but did anyone listen.. Ofc not.
