Mozilla and Firefox have been going downhill for quite some time now. I'm pretty surprised people are shocked by this.

[–] banazir@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I'm in no way surprised by this, but still somehow deeply disappointed.

The green chicken flag strikes again. It may be a small thing, but i knew the logo change was the first step towards corpo bullshit.

Guys, some of you here posted that you gonna switch to a fork. My question is: isn't still the same problem? It seems the problem here is Mozilla, and Mozilla is the creator of Firefox and Gecko. So you suggesting switching to a fork at the end has the same problem that is using Gecko. I don't think it is better than using a Chromium based browser. I mean you still using a Mozilla product. If you really want to avoid Mozilla you should be using Epiphany or wait for Ladybird. I am genuinely asking this because It is not clear enough for me.

It is better than using Chromium, largely because of engine diversity. Mozilla still has a massive say in web standards, and for that I'll continue using them until a better alternative comes out.

Epiphany kinda sucks, and Ladybird isn't a thing yet. So I'll stick with Firefox and its forks until a legitimate challenger appears.
