    well today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent is a bit bittersweet.Back at the beginning of the month, I plotted all the projects on my remind(1) calendar, grouping various categories together. Two days ago, lynx¹, yesterday was Dillo², and today it was supposed to be #Firefox. Yet this week has been full of sad Firefox news, with them ignoring users' desires to keep AI rubbish out of the browser (or at least relegated to an optional plugin)The browser that I started using as Netscape, grew to be Communicator, that kinda became Phoenix, then shed the non-browser functions off to Thunderbird (already got mentioned³) and became Firefox. Despite the rise of Chromium/Chrome, I still use Firefox as my daily driver web-browser for the modern web (rather than the *pleasant* web where lynx & Dillo serve me much better).What used to be a "User Agent" has become something that no longer puts the *user* first. 😢 So in this time of wishes and gifts, I wish that the Firefox leadership team would take a strong look at what they're doing and change their course.⸻¹ https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@gumnos/115735221496156078² https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@gumnos/115740808963678498³ https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@gumnos/115684337296307283

    Sigh, time to stop using Firefox. I'm running out of options. I like Mullvad, but I also want to keep some of my history. Any suggestions for decent browsers? #firefox #mullvad #chrome #browser #tech #technews #enshittification #openweb #ai

    Mozilla's core value proposition was trust. They weren't Google. They weren't going to sell you out. They even listened to feedback sometimes. Now their destroying all that is left of that value by going all in on adtech and the A.I. bubble for a short term cash grab. But the A.I. cash will dry up and the trust will stay gone. And who's gonna pay for a V.P.N. subscription, email forwarding service or any other "privacy" add-on run by a company they've learned not to trust?#mozilla #firefox #AI
