I remember reading a lot this past year about Mozilla fretting about their market share and trying to figure out how to grow their user base. Did I hallucinate that? Cuz their actions lately appear to be driving users away. Are they taking notes from Google or is there some other MBA making these brilliant changes?
Remember the Looking Glass fiasco? The people in charge of Firefox are so stupid it’s indistinguishable from malice.
Idk the CEOs $6mil salary sounds more like malice to me
Firefox main problem with profitability relevance. They need more people to get people to use their tools
So I just have two questions.
- How does this get new users?
- How does this help retention?
The only answer is it doesn’t and we don’t care because we’re going to cash out.
I’m not running away, I’ll still open Firefox tomorrow like yesterday because the browser landscape is terrible and the shadow of what Firefox was is still good.
But I’m looking for the disruptor because as questionable as a lot of the new smaller browsers are, there are people out there trying and it’s going to happen.
I’m waiting for Ladybird
Anyone have any good iOS alternatives? I’m eyeing Orion currently
Orion looks good as it does not collect any data. I don’t want Apple profiting from my safari usage.
Same. I’m about done with all things big tech. As much as is possible at least. Orion it is! I also saw Vivaldi but I’m not super interested in all the other services that come along with it.
Wow it also supports Firefox and Chrome extensions on iPhone! That’s a killer feature!
Yeah, started using it last night and I think it’s gonna stick. No complaints so far
After reading this comment, I downloaded it and am liking it so far. Thanks for spreading the word about it!
Bye Firefox. Boy we had some good times, huh.
