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.

AI and Pocket. Remove those and include Ublock by default and more people will use it.
If users have to disable 5 annoyances before even starting to consider moving over is really annoying. Most people will just go back to chrome
Nah, while the annoyances are there they are generally unobtrusive and most users wouldn't notice they've even there.
The real block to Firefox is out of Mozilla's hands. Google pushes Chrome aggressively via their search engine - users get prompted to download and use Chrome. This is monopolistoc behaviour and the only way to tackle it is anti trust action. Microsoft is doing the same with Edge and it's slowly growing market share as a result.
Sadly stopping that is not likely to happen. Maybe if Musk encourages Trump to continue the US case against Google, and/or the EU decides to wake up and regard browsers as important again.
All Mozilla can do is try and keep Firefox development going and keep the The organisation financially stable.
