I genuinely cannot understand why people hate mozilla so much, it boggles the mind.

Google is spending a lot of cash to make Firefox look bad so people are unmotivated to change away from Chrome when manifest v3 is fully rolled out.

This is why theres an uptick in anti-firefox stuff.

There’s so many anti-Mozilla people on Lemmy it’s crazy. I’m getting downvotes in other threads in this community for pointing out that all the anti-Mozilla FUD has amounted to nothing of substance.

There are many interests playing to make sure it is destroyed. Any little non issue explodes big. Or people just don't know how to read.

Because it makes it harder for advertisers to mine and sell your data. That's it.

It's not like it's not been rolling out features and opting people in without telling them...

I love Firefox, I’ve even spent money to support it in the past. The Mozilla organization seems at best incompetent and at worst willfully corrupt. There’s no love lost here.

When your mission is to create a safe and private web and you squandered your organization’s money to give huge payouts to your executives for not achieving their stated goals, that’s a form of corruption. Their relationship with Google was always viewed with skeptic eyes too. There are more. Nothing people can prove, but looks suspicious. Like I said, at best incompetence.
