Michael J. GrattonI was around when Netscape launched the Mozilla project, and how they (and later AOL) tried to keep the Netscape suite alive by adding more and more bloated crapware to it. No body wanted any of it, so no one used it, and Netscape Navigator was blown away when Firefox arrived on the scene.Cut to today and looking at OMG's news about the latest FF 142 release it 100% feels like Mozilla corp is pulling the exact same shit moves Netscape/AOL was 20 years ago. No one wants topic-based new tab page recommended stories. No one wants AI generated tab groups. No one wants to buy a VPN service from their browser vendor. All this crap is getting piled into FF by a dying vendor desperate to turn a buck, but all it is doing is driving people away.Honestly, I don't know what Mozilla could do now to fix the problem (maybe not have incorporated and try to run the project like a for-profit company in the first place perhaps?), but maybe the solution is in fact a full community fork, like Libreoffice, or, like oh yeah OG Mozilla.Or maybe (and this is what I'm hoping) Servo is to Mozilla today what Mozilla originally was to Netscape all those years ago - a soon--to-be successful community-run browser project cast off by a dying browser company. A plucky alternative to the incumbent monopoly's rapidly stagnating browser, IE. Err, I mean Chrome.Here's hoping! Or even better, go contribute! <a href="https://servo.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://servo.org/</a><a href="https://eigenmagic.net/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mozilla</a> <a href="https://eigenmagic.net/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> <a href="https://eigenmagic.net/tags/Enshittifcation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Enshittifcation</a> <a href="https://eigenmagic.net/tags/Servo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Servo</a>

Lars Marowsky-Brée 😷We deserve a web browser that's part of and owned by the public commons.To be frank, I believe we deserve, need, and could easily fund two: Firefox and Servo/Verso.The "Open Web" does not exist without a truly open browser.

C.I would once again like to thank the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mozilla</a> folks for their fine work on making <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> do what they think the user should want, rather than what the user actually wants. This is a challenging technical task, but they have proven to be very adept at it over the years.Current <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/gripe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gripe</a>: tab groups. My tabs just started opening in tab groups without me doing anything. Took a while to figure out this was actually what was going on; the UI affordances for this are not obvious, and it just seemed to be two unrelated niggles - (1) links opened in new tabs weren't opening at the end of the tab bar, and (2) some weird little thing was showing up in the tab bar, which just looked like a graphical glitch.I didn't enable tab groups, but I suddenly got them anyway.I didn't choose for links opened in new tabs to be placed into tab groups, but I got that anyway.And there's no setting in the UI to control this, at least in my Firefox. Search the settings UI for "group" and there's 0 results. Looking through the settings, I don't see it under another name.You can turn it off in about:config - it's at `browser.tabs.groups.enabled`.Firefox keeps getting worse and worse. This "we know better than the user, they should want this change and we won't let them even opt out, much less require them to opt in" is a huge driver of that.When will <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Servo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Servo</a> be suitable as a daily driver?<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/tab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tab</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/BrowserTab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BrowserTab</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/TabGroup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TabGroup</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/TabGroups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TabGroups</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/browser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#browser</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/arrogant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#arrogant</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/PissesMeOff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PissesMeOff</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/PissMeOff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PissMeOff</a>

Kai Klostermann<a href="https://floss.social/@servo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@servo</a> Please don't. I see <a href="https://floss.social/tags/servo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#servo</a> as the single most important <a href="https://floss.social/tags/FLOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FLOSS</a> project currently. We have to handle it super carefully to get it over the finishing lines. Utilizing <a href="https://floss.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> is not careful or thoughtful. It's clubbing the contestant to finish faster. Please don't.
