Mozilla wants your input.

@vmbrasseur @EdCates Excellent comment
-
@vmbrasseur My response to that question was "The war for the open web will be won in the streets. Saddle up, lock and load."
-
@vmbrasseur I doubt that they will actually listen, but I've participated anyway, just to let them know.
-
@vmbrasseur the phrasing of the AI questions does not give me much hope. I've filled it regardless.
-
@vmbrasseur well put
-
@vmbrasseur This is just about AI, probably hoping to collect enough data to justify saying "our users have asked us for AI everywhere"
-
@vmbrasseur Done — thanks!

@vmbrasseur There you go:

@vmbrasseur I think I hit them kind of hard in the comments sections... I wonder if they'll bother to read any of them.
I also tried to remind them of their own history and place in the market since they have forgotten entirely.
I tossed in a reminder that Servo is on its way. It's not there yet, but if they continue to be "that browser company that everyone hates almost as much as the other even worse company" they're going to be in trouble... I really really hope they at least read that.

@vmbrasseur they asked me for a donation...which I might actually do if they weren't working with Meta on ad tracking https://blog.zgp.org/why-turn-off-firefox-ad-tracking/
(you can't sell out and then ask for $, that's like admitting you are bad at selling out)

@vmbrasseur pocket was a privacy nightmare, so good riddance… but I think Firefox is still super important. We can’t have a future of everything running chromium or WebKit.

@notbobbytables @vmbrasseur Many of us listen, and we are reachable via Mastodon: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mastodon#Mozilla_accounts
Thanks for sending in feedback! Highly appreciated.
-
@vmbrasseur so you only told them what not to do, but not what to do? -
@vmbrasseur a faster email management tool.

@spacehobo @vmbrasseur Good points. The other problem for Mozilla chasing trends is that their browser gets bundled into other products such as IBM's RHEL, and the companies behind those products have their own trends to chase.
The more that Mozilla puts schemes into the browser, the more that the "we" who need a new browser includes well-funded companies
-
@vmbrasseur Personally, I would like to see Mozilla return to its core, the Firefox browser, and fix long-standing bugs and ensure compatibility with Chromium (for example, video conferences run more smoothly in Chromium, and websites can access USB and serial devices with Chromium). I also miss the FTP protocol support in Firefox. Support for the Gemini protocol would also be nice.
-
@vmbrasseur And in mobile Firefox: that it finally becomes truly FLOSS and can be published reproducibly in F-Droid. And that connections run smoothly or reload automatically (similar to Cromite), even with unstable internet.

Mine was a little shorter.
