Firefox Cannot Be Trusted at the Hands of Today’s Mozilla Management

Be warned that techrights is ... not always what one might call entirely reliable. They published a bunch of Andrew Lee apologia when the freenode debacle was in full swing.

(and the whole "concerns are growing" thing is IMO a rhetorical dark pattern, even if I -do- worry for the future of my preferred browser)

I'll take that one step further and say that they post total nonsense and speculation on a regular basis.

I have only seen the Clown Prince Apologia posts.

Admittedly they gave me a laugh while I was in the middle of helping cat herd the exodus to libera, but it was definitely a "laughing at" not a "laughing with".

Techrights also reposted the rather crazy ramblings from the page on the debian . community domain when that was going on. Seems like a page run by crazy people.

Well I'm glad I listened to what he had to say before I came to the comments here to get discouraged. I've been using firefox since 2005, and hope to continue using firefox, but I have serious concerns about the way things are heading and this guy did a good job of articulating what I feel about it. Firefox is hemorrhaging users and if they don't change course, I fear I might become part of that trend.
