mozilla come proton: ha tolto ogni collegamento a mastodon dal suo sito ufficiale, sostituendolo con bluesky.

Invece Brave, Librewolf, Waterfox e Vivaldi mantengono il link all'account mastodon ufficiale nei loro rispettivi siti.

L'anno scorso Mozilla aveva chiuso la propria istanza mastodon e ora questo.

Google is adding Gemini to Chrome and it will be more than a webpage. Like Edge, it plans to add Gemini to the browser window, and also as a widget.

How browsers REALLY load Web pages

When browsers load a Web page and its subresources, A LOT happens under the hood. They need to take into account render/parsing blocking resources, use a preload scanner, listen to resource hints (like preload/preconnect), loading modifiers (async/defer/module), fetchpriority, responsive images, and much more.

FOSDEM 2025 - How browsers REALLY load Web pages

^fosdem.org

There will be a lot of necessary debate over Mozilla’s original mistake and this hopeful change. This is a good move, and as a long-term user of Firefox I find it very welcome.

Organizations are made of people and make mistakes.

Can you imagine Google or Apple so quickly changing their stances like this in response to user input? Or even at all?

Brave has many integrations with third party vendors. How quickly would they sever financial ties in a similar situation?

DuckDuckGo has a lot of gaps in their privacy models.

We need more open browsers developed by communities for the public good, not unlike Firefox.

Switching from Big Tech is not always easy. You get used to their ways and they make it hard to switch.

Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other extensions in Edge

Microsoft is now in the process of turning off Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge, such as uBlock Origin. However, not everything is lost at this point.

After #community #protest: #Firefox #update on their "Terms of Use"

Source: blog.mozilla.org/en/products/f…

Our intent was just to be as clear as possible about how we make Firefox work, but in doing so we also created some #confusion and #concern. With that in mind, we’re updating the language to more clearly reflect the limited scope of how #Mozilla interacts with #user #data.

An update on our Terms of Use

We’ve been listening to some of our community’s concerns with parts of the TOU, specifically about licensing. Our intent was just to be as clear as possible about how we make Firefox work, but in doing so we also created some confusion and concern.

New (inconclusive) blogpost: "What, if anything, should I do about using Mozilla's Firefox"

Jotting down notes of some options about Firefox, but honestly not getting very far.

Finding a sustainable, viable alternative Free/open source browser, in a state which I can use today, supporting the plugins that I use daily, which is not based on Chromium, is not easy.
