ARRÊTEZ D'UTILISER CHROME, CHROMIUM, UNGOOGLE CHROME, BRAVE et tous les navigateurs basés sur Chrome. Utilisez #Firefox.
Sinon, dans quelques années on aura plus que nos yeux pour pleurer.
Vous n'êtes pas convaincu⋅e ? Faites une choses simple pour voir le futur imaginé par Google : Coupez votre bloqueur de publicité et baladez-vous sur le web.
Ouais, c'est juste intolérable, on est d'accord ?
Mozilla fires 60 people to “focus on bringing ‘trustworthy AI into Firefox.’”
Fuck you, Mozilla. No one is asking for AI in Firefox. Sadly, you’re the best we can hope for under capitalism. So if we want something better, we should look into alternative models.
“Would you like to use the browser by Company X, or the browser by the company that survives on half-a-billion dollars a year from Company X, or the browser by the company that gets paid an estimated $20 billion a year by Company X even though it can survive without it?”
We desperately need a web browser by an independent organisation funded by EU taxpayer money and maintained for the common good.
Google is trying to put the web in a cage in the same way they put your devices in a cage (Android, ChromeOS).
There’s one really easy, simple and efficient way to fight them: uninstall Chrome/Chromium, use #firefox
Do it. Now.
– But I prefer Chrome because of…
If you are not ready to sacrifice a little comfort (so little, Firefox is great) to save the web, then you don’t deserve a free web anyway. You are part of those killing it.
#Firefox is by far the best browser on desktop. Let me be clear, I am not saying that because I am ideologically opposed to using Google products. I use YouTube and Google Workspaces. Chrome genuinely has nothing to offer over Firefox. If your website doesn't work in Firefox then I'm not using your website.
"Did any user in the world want a user tracking and ad platform baked directly into their browser? Probably not, but this is Google, and they control Chrome, and this probably still won't make people switch to Firefox."
Just like our software, the current (and yes, beloved) Thunderbird logo has seen small, iterative improvements throughout the last 20 years. But now the software is evolving into something more modern, and we believe it deserves a fresh logo that properly represents this revitalization.
Introducing the brand new Thunderbird logo, designed by the creator of the original #Firefox and #Thunderbird logos, @jonhicks 🎉
Google announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin #uBOwill be disabled in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3 (#Mv3).
The new #Chrome manifest will prevent using custom filters and stops on demand updates of blocklist. Only #Google authorized updates to browser extension will be allowed in the future, which mean an automatic win for Google in their battle to stop YouTube #AdBlockers .
#ManifestV3 is deceitful and threatening to your privacy, and now is a good time to switch to #Firefox (@mozilla) and/or #TorBrowser (@torproject) if you haven't done so already!
EDIT for clarification: MV3 in Chrome will still allow some ad blocking extensions, but will severely limit their blocking ability and even restricts pre-set filters to 50 MAX.
Starting with version 116, #Firefox will drop support for macOS versions prior to 10.15 as well as Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. This has understandably annoyed a few users so let me explain why we're taking this step: the maintenance burden of supporting several versions of each platform is very significant. I'll show you how much by citing three platform-specific bugs I've worked on over the past two years. 🧵 1/13
Dear @mozilla
Please, please, please put the RSS indicator back in Firefox.
People need to know about this technology which empowers users over greedy, controlling corporations.
Update: As many have pointed out, you can use @thunderbird as an RSS feed reader, and there are many #firefox add-ons to restore the RSS indicator (one of which I'm already using). But my point is that Firefox needs to lean into RSS as an answer to all the crap that is the modern web, and help educate users about it
Mozilla, famosa per avere manager che guadagnano fino a 6mln $/anno (oltre il 30% della spesa), licenzia 60 dipendenti, l'istanza #Mastodon Mozilla.social subirà quella che #Mozilla definisce una "correzione strategica" con un "team molto più piccolo" e annuncia di concentrarsi sull'incorporazione dell'IA in #firefox.
Non è una bella immagine quella di mozilla che rincorre la gallina dalle uova d'oro dell'#IA
Seeing lots of discussion around Firefox marketshare, would be interested to hear what features / functionality people thought Firefox could implement that would make a big impact?
Since I've seen a lot of chatter about people switching to #Firefox as Google ramps up the enshitification of #Chrome, let me tell you about a killer feature for people who (a) need multiple accounts on the same websites (eg. devs) or specifically (b) have to use multiple Google accounts.
Firefox has an official addon called Multi Account Containers that lets you trivially set up color coded tabs that have separate sets of cookies. Log into your dev account in one, and your test account in another. Log into your personal #gmail in one and have another tab next to it with your work Gmail. I'm actually not signed in to any Google accounts in most my tabs, I just have containers for the specific tasks I do on Google products.
Prowadzę różne profile w sieci. Wcześniej musiałem korzystać z kilku przeglądarek, by w każdej być "zalogowanym" jako kto inny albo oddzielać sobie pracę od spraw osobistych. Albo żeby G. czy FB mnie nie profilowało.
Dzięki Firefox Multi-Account Containers mogę sobie założyć tyle kontenerków na sieciowe "osobowości", ile chcę.
Do każdej mogę przypisać kolor, który widzę nad otwartym tabem w przeglądarce. Osobna karta -> osobny profil #Mastodon, #Facebook, #Twitter, #YouTube itd. itp.
Sporo mi to uprościło i pozwoliło zaoszczędzić ram i cpu, bo pracuję w 1 browserze a nie w 8. No i wszystkie "trollkonta" w jednym miejscu mam 😉
had to take an actual photo of my laptop's screen because i can't get a screenshot of it with the Mastodon deck search field tab exposed.
am kinda frustrated with the #accessibility issues i've had with the platform. no matter what i tried, i could not properly perform a search... because i couldn't register correctly what i was seeing in that exposed tab.
where it not for the #Stylebot#Firefox extension, i would have ditched Mastodon a long time ago.
If you’re switching to #Firefox, remember Firefox is not private by default. Consider the #LibreWolf fork, which is. Otherwise, go into your settings and adjust its tracking features (like having #Google as the default search engine), turn off telemetry, “experiments”, etc.
(Also, if you all switch and Google goes bankrupt, #Mozilla will go bankrupt too because they exist thanks to half a billion dollars a year from Google. So remember Google must survive for Mozilla to survive.)
Firefox with its stock look, proper rounded window corners and actual Wayland support feels like jumping 5 years ahead of how it's shipped by default currently.
Disappointed to see that #Firefox is still broken on #FreeBSD arm64 (on #RaspberryPi 4). It was working so well on 13.1, and now it segfaults and dumps the core upon launch, unable to launch any pages.
The worst part is that Firefox is the only modern browser packaged for that architecture, meaning that even if I bit the bullet to use (barf) Chromium, it's not there in the repositories.
And to think that FreeBSD once was the best OS on the Pi for me. Now it's basically useless :(
Mozilla's petition against in-browser censorship law (foundation.mozilla.org)
The French government is considering a law that would require web browsers – like Mozilla's Firefox – to block websites chosen by the government.
