I see #mozilla making all these #ai related announcements and it makes me sad.

We need you focused on making #firefox the world's greatest web browser.

We need you to curb stomp #chrome and #edge and all their sleazy shenanigans1.

There are so many areas for improvement but I'm going to list a few anyway:

  • Better support for multiple profiles. Trying to use multiple profiles in Firefox right now is miserable #ux sadly.
  • WebUSB support
  • Fuller WebGL support

(With apologies to the folks working on those teams. I'm sure you're good people, but these products are super sleazy in the form they ship to the world)

:firefox: Mozilla blocks UAE bid to become an internet security guardian after hacking reports | @Reuters

｢ Reuters reported in January that Abu Dhabi-based DarkMatter provided staff for a secret hacking operation, codenamed Project Raven, on behalf of an Emirati intelligence agency. The unit was largely comprised of former U.S. intelligence officials who conducted offensive cyber operations for the UAE government ｣

Alright I now regret using #Firefox. Not because #Mozilla did shoot with the source code. Because its blocker doesn't protect my #privacy. I also regret reading about ADHD on my Android phone on #Chrome or even having a normal #Android phone.

Last week I read about ADHD on the web using Android's stock Chrome, now Google ads is showing me advertisements about ADHD. Down with you Google.

If anyone cares about their privacy, they should avoid #Google like #plague It's a pity still people use the services it offers including the search engine.

The #Web has become a bad and creepy place. For now I'm switching to #LibreWolf.

Edit: Curid from Rust offtopic Matrix room suggested this:

coveryourtracks.eff.org/

For Firefox it says partial protection is provided and they can fingerprint my broswer.

Google lost its ad monopoly trial, Mozilla is concerned about the future of the company:
betanews.com/2025/04/18/google
("If the Department of Justice truly wants to fix competition, they can’t solve one problem by creating another." - as much as I dislike Mozilla, I think they are mostly right here. It was a really poorly made decision, and won't solve anything, as for Mozilla, they will probably get paid by Microsoft to make Bing the default in Firefox, or slowly go bankrupt, and leave the Gecko engine to the community which won't have enough capacity to compete with Google (or if they will be forced to sell Chrome and step down from the Chromium project, it will likely be Microsoft, to maybe kill off Chrome like they did with Skype and Atom, and take control of Chromium), Firefox and its forks will be the next Internet Explorers...)
("Gecko powers Firefox (and other independent browsers) and puts privacy and people first." - nah, unfortunately Firefox is pretty far from a privacy-respecting browser nowadays. A real privacy browser should be private without any manual hardening. But it needs to stay alive because it's the base for some real privacy browsers like LibreWolf.)
(There's quite a lot of aspect of this whole Google thing, maybe it deserves a separate post.)

BetaNews · Google has lost its ad tech monopoly trial... and Mozilla is scaredIn a decision that surprised few, a judge has ruled that Google is guilty of “willfully acquiring and maintaining monopoly power” in advertising technology.

So -- the fallout. But first, Google is appealing the verdict.

When all is said and done, Mozilla and Apple are both likely to pay the price, although Apple is a big fish and can probably talk its way out of some the damages. But Mozilla is in danger. There was always that question about the implications of its intimate affair with Google.

Hardening the #Firefox Frontend with Content Security Policies

attackanddefense.dev/2025/04/0

Attack & Defense · Hardening the Firefox Frontend with Content Security PoliciesMost of the Firefox User Interface (UI), including the address bar and the tab strip, are implemented using standard web technologies like HTML, CSS and JavaScript plus some additional custom components like XUL. One of the advantages of using web technologies for the front end is that it allows rendering the frontend using the browser engine on all desktop operating systems. However, just like many web applications are susceptible to some form of injection attack (OWASP Top Ten), Firefox’s use of web technologies for the frontend makes it no exception and hence it is vulnerable to injection attacks as well.

Lately I've been wondering how I could contribute to open source projects despite not being a programmer and not having money for donations, and then I found out about #localisation. For the past couple of days I've been doing some translations for #mozilla projects, mainly #thunderbird, and having my strings aproved has been really satisfying. I love how intuitive Mozilla's localisation interface is.
