Are they? What have they actually done to make it a bad choice? From my memory the last year or so they’ve: Added some AI stuff that I don’t use but isn’t in my way Added tab groups and sidebar tabs which I use constantly Clarified some legalese that didn’t change anything but caused everyone to say the sky is falling for no reason Refused to deprecate manifest v2 Don’t get me wrong; I’m not saying Mozilla is perfect and does everything I want. I wish they weren’t funded by google and I wish they didn’t waste so much money on executives, but not only do you need them to stand up to google by continuing to develop firefox (all the downstream gecko browsers would collapse), you need them to continue to participate in web standards committees so google doesn’t get to run away and do whatever the fuck it wants (no other non-big-tech entity has a seat at the table or would get one) I swear there is astroturfing for anti-mozilla sentiment to undermine their importance in the ecosystem

Maybe it’s time to go back to BBSes. This whole internet thing kinda sucks now. Try permanently disabling JavaScript. It will break most sites but what remains is a largely peaceful experience.
