  1. You are right to be alarmed @Steltloper, the ecosystem is threatened as many of the people trusted to maintain it are willingly dismantling checks on quality, by allowing in various degrees.

    This is exacerbated by the corporate takeover of many not-for-profit entities set up to steward (e.g. , , …). Today those foundations push an agenda of handing our power to controlled by sociopathic billionaires.

  5. @raganwald sorry about the haterz, but #mozillafoundation has always been a force for good on the internet as far as i’m concerned. maybe they’re a little sanctimonious sometimes, but these days, we could use more sanctimony in the face of rampant corporate greed.

  9. @maniabel #GuteFrage!
    Bei meinem ID4 logge ich mich nie ein, habe mich aber damals doch registrieren. Weiß nicht, ob oder wie er auch ohne fahren würden. Im Moment muss jedes mal auf "Onlinemodus" drücken, damit er seine SIM anschmeißt und irgendetwas digitales nutzbar ist.

    Keine Ahnung, was da alles getrackt wird, aber definitiv zu viel.

    Gab da mal ein Artikel von #MozillaFoundation, der echt frappierend war. Auch wenn man im Bereich #Datenschutz ja schon hartes gewohnt ist.

  11. Wow we just saw this - do we have any kind followers with a connection to the #mozillafoundation that would be comfortable nominating our founder @kim?

    Big problem: deadline is tomorrow! So we would have to do it then!

  18. Weekly output: AT&T 5G, Meta breakup bid blocked, Mozilla Foundation, social-media usage, Starship and New Glenn

    I spent much of the only week in November not disrupted by my own travel schedule catching up on things from the previous two weeks. As you can see from the list below, that was an incomplete exercise.

    (Speaking of previous weeks, I also wrote a post for Patreon supporters recapping my experience at Web Summit in Lisbon.)

    11/17/2025: AT&T Boosts 5G Speed and Capacity With EchoStar Spectrum, PCMag

    Having written in September about Boost Mobile’s plans to sell this spectrum to AT&T, I felt obliged to cover AT&T putting those frequencies into service sooner than I would have imagined possible.

    11/19/2025: Court Rejects FTC’s Bid to Break Up Meta, Finds It’s Not a Social Media Monopoly, PCMag

    I didn’t span on spending a large chunk of Tuesday afternoon reading a judge’s opinion about the Federal Trade Commission’s attempt to order Meta to undo its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp. I also didn’t expect to find the judge’s analysis of Facebook so relatable.

    11/20/2025: With Its Next Big Thing, Mozilla Wants to Do More Than Improve the Web, PCMag

    The interview at the center of this post happened two weeks earlier, so I appreciated the Mozilla Foundation providing some details about early proposals received since then for its AI-for-democracy funding program.

    11/20/2025: Among Social Media Users, Reddit Soars As X Stagnates, PCMag

    Thursday had no work items on my calendar, so I could cover this new report from the Pew Research Center about which social platforms have earned time on the schedules of Americans.

    11/21/2025: SpaceX’s Starship Suffers Major Test Mishap a Day After Blue Origin Unveils Rocket Upgrade Plans, PCMag

    I was going to spent Friday writing a post about an information-security conference I attended Tuesday, but then SpaceX had the booster stage of its Starship rocket fail catastrophically in a ground test a day after that company’s increasingly-capable rival Blue Origin outlined some ambitious upgrades to its own New Glenn launch vehicle.

  22. Where am I on this page? Nobody knows. I cannot ask the scrollbar
    because it is hiding as a thin ghostly translucent grayness.

    The Mozilla Corporation / Mozilla Foundation's usability and
    accessibility experts must have been on a cocaine fueled binge when
    greenlighting the killing of Mozilla Firefox's scrollbar.

    Or is it the Gimp Toolkit people, the Gnome Foundation and/or Gnome
    Project that are behind this travesty? This idiocy? This abhorrent
    lapse of moral judgement?

  23. @skolima WTF? I've been paying for Pocket Premium subscription since 2019, specifically so that Mozilla could have enough money to keep it running. This is a catastrophe and completely undermines what was left of my confidence im #MozillaFoundation.

    #Omnivore was closest we ever got to a viable Pocket alternative, and that's got bought out of existence last October. #Wallabag is probably next best.

    I wish there was a robust web page epub converter, so I could read in #ReadEra or e-ink device.

    Looking for the same thing. Please warn me if you found. I don't understand how is impossible on Android to import mozilla bookmarks/history without a shitty Firesync/dont know name . Maybe at least there are a directory to find it ?

  31. Given the most recent Firefox debacle, here's what I'm gonna do.

    For the cost of a simple monthly wage in the range of US$ 7000 ~ 8500, I offer my services as BDFL of Mozilla for a time period of 3 years, extensible for a second term if I'm requested to.

    As #BDFL I would ordain a path for Mozilla, and primarily for #Firefox , that eschews the eternal loser game of chasing Google's tail and complexity-based internet, and instead focus on or even develop an internet that's focused on the visitor and browser. Maybe taking something like Gopher or Gemini, iterating over either/both at least once to modernize them, and add first-class / native support. Restore RSS support too. But still prioritizing the values of the people who historically chose Firefox in the first place.

    And, Gorhill permitting, uBlockOrigin would be integrated with the browser.

    Hey, I'm offering a much cheaper service than whatever combination of exec salaries are being wasted over there at Moz.
