hen both lost the browser war to Google’s Chrome. But no mention of Google; can’t bite the hand that feeds you.

Comment on it: https://dbushell.com/2026/01/28/mozilla-slopaganda/

We’re focusing our ~$1.4B in reserves
Mozilla claim $1.4 billion in reserves (and no debt). They’re funded by over half a billy anually from Google.
👏 Stop 👏 donating 👏 to 👏 Mozilla 👏
Mozilla is the same Big Tech they pretend to rebel against. Donate your money to a worthy open source independent project before it’s drowned by slop.

The argument is a pun: Mozilla talk about the past because that's all they have. Mozilla fantasis about the future because they have nothing in the present.

At least they have an AI kill switch in the settings. That's something.

So because a website HTML/CSS is protected computer program: an ad blocker intervenes in the in-memory execution structures of it; it constitutes an unlawful reproduction and modification.

This was first reject; but a new ruling sent the case back.

There are many reasons, in addition to ad blocking, that users might want their browser or a browser extension to alter a webpage.

As per BGH’s ruling, Springer’s argument needs to be re-examined to determine if DOM, CSS, and bytecode count as a protected computer program.

Mozilla noted that the new proceedings could take up to a couple of years to reach a final conclusion. As the core issue is not settled, there is a future risk of extension developers to be held liable for financial losses.

They bought Pocket couple years ago to discover they candor the same with bookmarks

Firefox needs the revenue of Google

mozilla's main problem right now appears to be they just do not recognise that they have pissed users' trust up a wall and now we are suspicious of everything they do.

you cannot, in a position like that, just do things which look dodgy as fuck and expect users to suck it up quietly, whether or not they are as they look.

Some insights on the rewrite

xpcom, xml crates, protocols and more.

La stratégie de diversification des sources de revenus de Mozilla a bien fonctionné, et c'est tant mieux !

25% de revenus en plus, mais est-ce que cela provient des partenariats avec les moteurs de recherches? 125% sur des produits qui n'existaient pas vraiment auparavant veut dire peu de choses, il faut ici laisser encore 2-3 ans pour avoir une idée du potentiels. J'espère que cela va continuer à être positif, car cela me laisse dubitatif.

Focus on privacy, protection against malicious code; encryption (of everything); extending the web; make it fast; easy to publish; customization per user; first-class experience for non-English-speakers; improve accessibility

I didn't know Samsung and Let's Encrypt are supporting the servo project.

The project has its own website : https://servo.org

And how good it is, even with some flaws.
Source code is available on Mozilla's Github

The real problem is that Mozilla didn't use that money to achieve financial independence and instead just spent it each year, doing the organisational equivalent of living hand-to-mouth.

Legit.

And the rest is legit too :

• dependancy to Google searches
• as private NGO, heads of Mozilla are paid in millions and its administration cost 30%, way to much compared to other NGO.
• why prividing a VPN as it is not the best way to provide privacy, the browser still be identified by a fingerprint; though some informations are blocked
• ineffective side projects, which divide resources; at least there are trials

About the problems of Mozilla

Firefox Relay est un outil semblable à DropMail, Yopmail, etc... ; ce sont des boîtes mails jetables.
La particularité de Firefox Relay est de pouvoir transmettre les messages à la boite mail principale.

Not related to Mozilla, but a Q&A from an employee.

However, Google is an organization that excels at taking individual, seemingly-benevolent units of work and then combining them into things that are anti-competitive or just plain evil.

🔪

L'extension en bêta permet de piloter le navigateur à la voix !

Sur l'activation de DoH par défaut redirigeant tout le traffic vers Cloudflare (wtf).

Firefox bloquera maintenant par défaut tous les cookies tiers. La liste des cookies bloqués provient de la liste fournie par Disconnect

Une superbe nouvelle ! Et une raison supplémentaire d'utiliser Firefox

Un générator de configuration pour SSL. Mais ... c'est... génial !
