After I noticed Firefox has removed the Pocket branding but kept the Pocket stories, I also noticed the settings screen on the homepage no longer lets you disable sponsored stories or links.
Firefox 115:
Firefox 139:
You can still remove these advertisements, but you have to leave the homepage and dig through the settings to find that option.
What are you going to do when the paid Firefox dev team stops developing it?
Donate to the hopefully less greed driven and user data hungry people that will take up the development.
I don't think you understand, the majority of the heavy lifting browser development is done by the paid devs at Mozilla. If they stop updating the browser none of the down stream forks are going to be able to replace the work they're doing.
Why wouldnt they? The majority of money at Mozilla has been going to worthless management people and side projects nobody wants. Only a tiny fraction of the money Mozilla spends would be required to pay the devs that actually develop Firefox. Im saying Firefox needs to be hard forked and Mozilla can go to shit for all i care. As long as Mozilla exists, nobody will do it so maybe its even necessary for Mozilla to die.
While true, its unlikely the fork devs will fund raise enough.
