People ragging on the only viable browser solution we have… Firefox is rock solid, fast, tweakable, and keeps me as safe as any browser and my configs/habits can. I don’t care if management eats babies.
I use it on debian with celenity phoenix and a few about:config tweaks, also tweak’d the theme a bit. Extensions: ublock origin, sponsorblock, localcdn, consent-o-matic, containers, keepassxc-browser, and sometimes jshelter.
web browsing: solved

You definitely should care, what a weird thing to say.
I like Firefox and use LibreWolf all the time, but Mozilla should still absolutely get lampooned for their bullshittery.

Others have been too nice in their responses so I’m just going to drive the point home: go fuck yourself for equating being bi to eating babies.
You could have said he’s a Zionist sinstead. Also his music sucks.
hey i can’t believe this needs to be explained to you but:
- being bi is okay
- wearing yellow underwear is okay
- listening to techno is okay
- eating babies is not okay
So… eating babies is different than every other example you listed. The reason most people think you shouldn’t care about a creator being Bi, or driving automatic is those aren’t moral failings.
Also even the eating babies example sucks as the perceived moral failings also influence the product until the pushback has them renege.
It’s more akin to them having weird stalker behavior and then occasionally dropping a track where they talk about how fun it is creeping on folks.
It both is weird and I’d rather not support someone that does it if at all possible, and it also influences the product they are putting out.
being bi is equivalent to eating babies
might want to rethink your example there
Sexuality is not a choice, but being a bigot absolutely is.
Its the company that sucks. It just sucks less than the others.
I use librewolf since it doesn’t have all of firefoxes shit in it especially “AI”. Them shoving pocket everywhere is what got me off of main firefox to begin with.
Using Firefox since v1.0.2 and no plan to switch to any other browser.
All concerns that people have about Mozilla/Firefox, can be solved by tweaking preferences in about:config; nothing is hard-locked by Firefox developers.
Been using it since it was Netscape Navigator. It’s the only solution for me, that has stuck. It’s not like I haven’t tried anything else like Opera, Waterfox, Vivaldi and a few others. I have never installed Chrome though… Firefox is the only one I feel safe with… A few addons, and a few tweaks, and like you, I’m good to go…
I can see that people really have a hard time when someone speaks figuratively…
Have you tried libre wolf? I’d heard the creator had lately come out with some outspoken political views but I didn’t actually hear what they were or what they said
I do the bare minimum and I mooch off my friends, but hey, at least I’m a good person who doesn’t assault innocent passerby! I don’t deserve any criticism of yours, even if it’s constructive and to my betterment!
I couldn’t tell whether this post was supposed to be sarcasm or what. Firefox is great, except you have to install all those extensions and add-ons and make manual configuration changes through a nerd-only UI in order to get a basic measure of privacy? Um no, Firefox is deeply unsatisfying for those exact reasons you list, though people use it anyway under the circumstances.
Firefox is great. You can use your ‘morality’ or any other gauge to decide upon any product or tool that you employ. Rock on, I could care less. You can do, or, not do, whatever the hell you want. Who am I to judge? If you make a good browser I’m gonna use it, though. If you tell me how or when to use said browser than you can go pound sand and stick to your baby eating crowd. Weirdo.
Lot of people like to fling outrage and morality around. From their closets. What if they don’t eat babies? WTF?! What if my morality says we can only have so many babies and the best way to cull is to simply eat them? Those degenerates at mozilla need to step up their game before I use their web browser, I tell you what!
Lol. Stupid all around. Firefox is the viable web browser, whether or not they eat babies.
the reason people rag on mozilla’s management isn’t because of anything close to your baby-eating hyperbole but because their mismanagement harms the development and direction of firefox.
we criticize because we care and don’t want to see the last decent web browser get canned because some CEO wanted another yacht.
I mean, nothing you said is exactly intelligent, your analogy was pretty horrid from the start since the issues with FF effects the product, and this mostly seems like an incoherent rambling about how you don’t like people expecting more because everything else is worse.
If they don’t eat babies, cool they don’t. If your morality says you need to eat a certain amount of babies and you also have it play into your purchases then it would make sense if they didn’t you didn’t use the product. That’s not a takedown of the idea in any real sense, just you attempting to lean into the fact people wouldn’t like someone with that morality.
You’re implying the arguments are invalid because changing the condition morality consumption etc changes people’s reaction but that’s because they find it unsound, not invalid. They disagree on the premises.
For example, you equated bisexuality with baby eating with one of your examples. If someone thinks both are moral failings, and they don’t want to use products that have creators they think are immoral, it would be logically valid for them to avoid baby eater produced products or products made by bi folk.
Me saying they’re wrong and a piece of shit is me saying the premise that bisexuality is a moral failing is wrong and believing it is morally incorrect as well, not that the idea is invalid if you did accept that premise.
You’re also ignoring the fact that many FF complaints is because the things people think they do that is wrong is the features they implement into the browser.
So even if you don’t particularly think people should apply their morality in what things they support and blindly consume or use products without care, you would also have to support the idea that people should blindly support products that they believe are actively decreasing in quality.
And viability doesn’t mean anything in this race, chrome is also viable believe it or not, arguably more viable since websites assume you’re on chromium a majority of the time and some actively have attempted to hinder Firefox, so if pure web browsing viability is your concern you should be championing the cause of Google Chrome.
I use a FF fork and have never really had an issue with it so far and have zero complaints, your argument was just so incoherent and has so many weird assumptions I don’t know how you arrived at the stance you did besides potentially a Mozilla check lmao. But that can’t be the case either; if it was their execs would have less money in their pockets while begging for Google handouts and that’s not happening.
