@Iapar@feddit.org Oh, the irony.

@Deebster@programming.dev Uh-huh. Yep. Sure. Let’s give them every benefit of the doubt.

@Deebster@programming.dev Oh, I don’t know… I wonder why…

@maniajack@mastodon.world Mozilla is a not-for-profit that owns a half-a-billion dollar a year for-profit that gets its half-a-billion dollars a year from Google.

Or, as their head of public policy once told me: “Why are you being so hard on us? We’re just another Silicon Valley tech company.”

🤷‍♂️

At least they’re open source so you should be able to see exactly what information is being collected if you dive into the code.

@Hache@masto.es @Waterfox@mastodon.social No, they can’t dictate terms of use for forks without violating their own open source license.

 

Anything you say or do on Firefox may be used by Mozilla against you. You have the right to use a different browser. If you cannot find a browser that doesn’t fuck you over one way or another, one will not be provided for you because capitalism is working exactly as designed.

Native support for ed25519/x25519 in the browser would be a huge step forward for in-browser/client-side cryptography.

Looks like Google is holding up our ability to use it in production.

(Firefox and Safari both have support enabled by default.)

@Bro666 @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Which would make perfect sense if I had said “Plasma forces you to use Firefox.” Would you like any other straw men to rile against?

@Aaron @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Yes, to non-private defaults. Let’s put it this way: if Firefox’s defaults respected your privacy, Mozilla would go bankrupt tomorrow.

@dajix @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social It’s deceptive. They know exactly what they’re doing. That’s why they also ask if you haven’t used your browser for a while.
