Firefox View is a sleeper hit. If you haven’t tried it recently, try it again.
The icon now looks like this, if you removed it from your toolbar (like I did) and need to find and re-add it:
Yeah, kind of unfortunate that it didn’t do much at the start and people were asking themselves why it’s there, but from a development perspective, it absolutely makes sense that they wouldn’t implement everything ahead of time, before getting feedback from users…
Well, they’re rolling out their Shopping sidebar and ad network really quietly. Been rolling it out since 5 versions ago. But something tells me they don’t really want feedback on that, so who knows.
If you’ve got qualitative feedback about the implementation, like you wanted to use the Shopping sidebar, but the text was much too small on your device, or maybe you found a vulnerability in their ad network implementation, which allows tracking individual users, then the developers absolutely want that feedback.
If your feedback is “Don’t roll these out!”, you’re still free to give that feedback, but yeah, that’s not useful in the development process.
You’d need to address that to management and ideally include a really good idea for how else to secure the wages of their employees. “Don’t make any money!” and “Please, fully rely on the money from Google!” are not useful as feedback.Wow, what awoke the status quo defender in you. Apparently your expectations for Mozilla are that it chases dollar signs like any other for-profit, but okay…
Stop overpaying your CEO
Average CEO pay went down in 2022… but Mozilla CEO pay skyrocketed. For no good reason. The browser is crashing and burning.
Stop laying off employees
There was another round of layoffs because Mozilla was “diversifying” like you said they should.
Aka fad chasing.
But yes they should learn and…
Stop chasing new fads
They should have learned from their mistakes instead of buying an AI/NFT corporation for an undisclosed sum…
Keep your promises
That new Mozilla-branded company sells customer data to 3rd parties for advertisement purposes. Location data, “inferred profiles,” browsing and search history, the works.
If that’s what Mozilla fully turns into, you should want it destroyed too.
