  • Definitely this. I am kind of tired of people. Mindlessly worshiping Firefox as if Mozilla doesn’t have a bad financial track on It’s CEOs giving themselves raises and also being relatively heavily funded by Google

    I want to enjoy Firefox and use it as my main browser, but it just simply isn’t as polished as some of the chromium browsers out there. Which is saying a lot because Firefox used to be the number one browser 20 years ago.

    They have absolutely no audience in mind when developing Firefox aside from “everyone”, and his other browsers continue implementing of a variety of different functions out of the box, Mozilla either:

    A. Implemented as a browser extension that gets abandoned (split screen tabs) B. Never gets implemented at all. So a third party steps in and makes an inferior version (tab groups)

    And then in some cases, removing functionality from the browser under some lame excuse like “nobody was using this”, when in fact, someone was using that feature.

    All of that coupled with a lack of any transparency from the development team with something like a fleshed out road map or anything like that. Instead just a string of promises. Which would be fine and expected out of an open source project, if Mozilla wasn’t a multi-million dollar corporation.

    Of course, on Lemmy, the open source federated network, everyone here will glorify and put Mozilla on a pedestal as The Lord and Savior of FOSS and the internet as a whole. When there is absolutely nothing that makes them special

    I really think that on the list of worst single points of failure, DNS is not one of them. Given how easy it is to actually switch. And given that cloudflare outages are not nearly as common, The times they do happen usually are only for half an hour or so.
