I am happy (sad in reality) that I stopped my donations before they used it to threw, who knows how much, hundreds thousands of Dollars/Euro to Jones Knowles Ritchie (JKR)
who the hell is he?
EDIT: OK I know now 
Jones Knowles Ritchie at DuckDuckGo
Ironically, the design company’s website is a terrible experience. Videos playing everywhere, and clicking to pause as any sane person would opens a different video…
I, for one, quite like the new branding, but I also recognise that it’s just that, branding, and Mozilla will likely never be the organisation they once were.

Somehow I see Chrome’s offline dinosaur

I think it looks cool, but I feel like money could’ve been better spent elsewhere.

As a rebrand, it’s really not bad.
I am still disappointed with their current direction, overall.

Wish Mozilla would spend more on actually improving Firefox rather than activism that nets them zero profit. And promotes something that is against their mission of a “Free and open web”.
As I don’t think sponsoring activists to promote censorship on the web is a very “Free and Open web”. Mozilla has also been straying away from the privacy browser. And is moving sloowly into a ad business…
Sad to see Mozilla fall from grace. Well, what grace they had left at least.
Anyways, hopefully Ladybird becomes a viable web browser. When it does and has good extension support I will be promptly moving away from Mozilla, only keeping it as a backup just in case certain edge case sites don’t work.

I wish someone would just take away Firefox from them and give it to a more responsible leadership like Linux foundation (who are already working on servo) or something
Mozilla has coasted enough on community goodwill while running Firefox into the ground. This rebrand is just another attempt to convince the community that they will do better this time.

100% agreed. Though I really don’t trust the Linux foundation much more. Spending 2% on linux kernel development… Even though its in the name “The linux foundation”.

As much as I don’t like Mozilla, I don’t agree with the statement. It’s still a fine web browser. Awful by default, sure, but it’s not like it’s been destroyed or gotten considerably worse in the last 5 years. Still very customizable and better than chromium in many ways.

Or it’s not like…
I quite like Firefox (if it wasn’t for the slowness in loading pages that I experience) and certainly that philosophy of being independent from Google, Microsoft et alia. I do not like the political activism . I too would much prefer they concentrated on the browser on its own merits.

For those who have high expectations for Servo and ladybird, I hope you won’t be disappointed as maintaining a browser engine across platforms is a really difficult task. I am not closely following their development, btw.

Yes you have to be up to date with the last few decades of security patches because you know the bad guys will check those out. Diligently.

I have been a Mozilla user for more than 20 years.
Not at all because I like Mozilla, but because I hate Google. Even in 2024 I still haven’t switched, I remain loyal to the Mozilla derivatives.
