Mozilla’s now director of public policy once asked me, with a straight face, why I was giving them a hard time and holding Mozilla to a higher standard: “we’re just another Silicon Valley tech company.”But that’s not what you tell people publicly, is it, Mozilla?Still, it’s time y’all got this.Mozilla is a half-billion-dollar for-profit corporation – whose CEO makes >$3M/yr – that has a foundation do its PR.https://www.howtogeek.com/760425/firefox-now-sends-your-address-bar-keystrokes-to-mozilla/#mozilla #SiliconValley #BigTech #SurveillanceCapitalism

@aral >opt-outFFS Mozilla. They know the harms of opt-out mechanisms on privacy-sensitive matters, I can tell this was intentional.Chromium isn't much of an alternative unless you count the likes of Vivaldi and Brave standing up to Google's decisions like FLOC.

@valeraukoTor browser maybe ?There is a "small" internet though, using another protocol and based on text only: gemini (which stems from gopher). You can try it out from putty.@aral

@aral is there even an option left? Like there is basicly firefox and then chrome forks, right? What's there to do for a lazy mildly caring person?

@JonossaSeuraava Yeah, it’s not looking good.Last I looked Librewolf was doing a good job of remaining current and stripping out Mozilla’s bullshit from their fork of Firefox: https://librewolf-community.gitlab.io/Not a long term solution. Ideally we’d fund an independent not for profit org with EU taxpayer money to build an independent browser for the common good.

@aral ı wonder what browser you are using. ı also wonder why mastodon doesn't have a non-js version (ı'm not a fan of firefox nor chromium nor konqueror either)

@onat @aral There _is_ a non-javascript frontend for mastodon (and similar) - brutaldon. (https://brutaldon.org) (and yes, I'm using it right now.)

@aral I've defended #mozilla a lot in the past but this is really the last straw. There's like... nothing of value left.I'll be replacing #firefox with #librewolf on my desktops for now. We really do need a more sustainable long-term solution though.... and on mobile? No idea.

@Truck @onat @aral I love the characterization of a no JS web interface as a "Brutalist web interface".We should adopt this analogy into our language immediately.

@aral My brother, they will not tell us in ten years that we were right. They will never tell us that we were right. And they will not do the right thing, not then, not now.Doing the right thing now is on us and us alone. Always has been. Always will.

Does anyone know the port number it uses, tcp or udp, and what IP it sends to? Should be something blockable in UFW no?

@aral @JonossaSeuraava There's a few of them out there:https://ladybird.org/ https://github.com/versotile-org/verso and https://mauikit.org/apps are in really early stages of development.I disagree that Firefox is Big Tech, but it definitely is trying to become like them. These growing flaws have reached a point where it is time to consider funding one of those projects.

@louisrcouture @floppy Read the thread, my other posts here, (or the Mozilla section in https://ar.al/2019/01/11/i-was-wrong-about-google-and-facebook-theres-nothing-wrong-with-them-so-say-we-all/) and do your own research into Mozilla Corporation.

@aral @louisrcouture @floppy Just to add to the research, note that Mozilla has ignored these bug reports, which would be trivially easy to resolve if they were on the side of humanity:https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1897608https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1922624

@lulu Sadly, they can’t. They’re not structured to be able to. They are, as their head of public policy once told me, “just another Silicon Valley tech company.”(With a foundation that does their PR.)
