    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

    @amoroso yeah. I actually almost said “it’s not the browser diversity we deserve, but it’s the browser diversity we need right now”

    Mozilla: New #Firefox #Extensions must disclose #Data #Collection #Practices.The devs will be required to disclose any new extension's data practices in the manifest.json file using a dedicated browser_specific_settings.gecko.data_collection_permissions key beginning today. Mozilla will also require all extension developers to adopt this framework in 2026.https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/firefox-builtin-data-consent/#taxonomy#it #developer #tech #media #engineering #news

    We really need an organisation forking of Mozilla. Especially with #Firefox plonking in #perplexity without our consent.https://hachyderm.io/@davidculley/115377002571305266Firefox is used by a lot of folks outside our space, we develop for it, so the answer isn't just insert [alternative] here. So if you're gearing up to suggest your alternative. Please don't, I'm aware.I have them installed.
