The fact they didn't loudly announce this 'feature' has seriously undermined their trustworthiness, for me at least.

What's the expression; 'So much depends on reputation. Guard it with your life'. Mozilla seem to be just throwing it away.



Who would rather trust?

Apple, Microsoft, Google?

Realistically, these are the organizations that can afford to develop a high performance browser engine.

All the chrome and firefox forks probably don't have the devs or infrastructure to fork blink/gecko and keep up with security and features.

It's easy to be excited about Ladybird -- and maybe it will work, MAYBE.

It's fair to argue that we've let the web evolve into such an advanced platform that building a secure high performance browser is a HUGE moat.

People are so fast to criticize Mozilla. Maybe, this isn't all bad.


I agree with you- people are really weird about Mozilla, and I almost always defend them (check my comment history)

But wow this is vile. I did not expect this from them. Bad enough that I'm not sure if I can reccomend Firefox over a fork anymore


whataboutism?

Sure I trust Mozilla more than Google/Microsoft.

But less so, now.
