Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I'm looking forward to the long articles shedding light on how Mozilla was slowly corrupted by it's own success and ultimately failed.
It's just so obviously been happening a while now. Good thing Waterfox and Librefox exist.
They only exist as long as Firefox and Mozilla exist. They all depend on Mozilla for updates, patching and core functionality.
Yep, and browsers are apparently notoriously hard to build and maintain. We're cooked.
I'm waiting to see if Ladybird takes off. They have some questionable sponsors, but you need money to get started. Hopefully they stick to their guns of being independent if they become successful.
Ladybird has both questionable sponsors and questionable leadership and past drama.
Servo is the one I'm excited for.
Because the specs are a pile of shit. I can't prove it, but I'm pretty sure that google helped with that.
I can be of assistance. From the World Wide Web consortium, the group who creates the Web standards:
Yes Mozilla itself was working with Facebook back as far as 2022, and was basing this work on their telemetry which was pretty controversial back in 2018.
Damn, the web really is just a big pile of advertising shit now.
Thanks - I guess we really need to come up with alternatives.
And Mozilla will exist as long as Google needs to have a functional opponent they can point to. Firefox is maintained on Google's dollar.
Yeah but Firefox only exists because of the large community willing to work on it. That community can go to Waterfox or Librefox and continue development under better leadership.
