Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Statcounter is worse than a guess. There are numerous articles, but here's a good one: Statcounter claims millions of people stopped using iphones and switched to Windows 7

This looks so fun.

I have to run Firefox for stuff that is broken either in Mullvad (which is a lot), or also LibreWolf.

Firefox is just as bullshit as Chrome is. Why the hell do I get notifications about "select your AI chatbot to integrate into Firefox", and most importantly - why are there literal adds on my home screen? And in the most scummy way possible - it shows you your most used websites on the front page.

And after a few seconds, it shifts the icons around and replaces the first few icons with "sponsored" bullshit. I've clicked on those more than once, because I was aiming for an icon that was just there. Fuck this bullshit.

Thank god for Librewolf keeping the Firefox engine alive, so we have an alternative. I love the engine and am really glad that there is an alternative for Chromium, don't get me wrong. But I hate what Mozzilla is doing, they had such a fall from grace.

The one I like to watch is Mozilla's own count of monthly active users. Once every year or two I'll remember to check it. This time, it's at least temporarily broken out of its years-long downtrend! The total number of Firefox users (not its market share) is up by 2% over 52 weeks as of the latest data point.
