But why? I loved this logo, it's very clever:
Or most people didn't get the meaning of ://?
Now, as I typed this I understand... Most people rarely type https:// any more. Actually I use this symbol most frequently connecting to file shares as smb:// or sftp://.
Indeed. Mozilla is just another ad company now.
Mozilla as you knew it is dead. Firefox carcass will remain, and various forks are keeping it alive, but if someone still wants to have an alternative to Google's Chromium/Blink it needs a new entity to take over.
I'm watching ladybird with interest. But it's going to be sometime before it's ready. Current versions break quite easily. But it's good to see something else being developed at least
Maybe they can catch the interest of ex-firefox developers, their expertise and should help a lot.
It at least would be a definite Fresh Start.
I thought it was just my imagination that it’s been getting worse and worse in both implementation and ecosystem.
So does Reclaim The Internet still involve purchasing an advertising company, letting multiple employees go, and generally behaving like a VC-backed startup? Just checking!
I see a ton of branding, buzzwords, and even a little AI.
Changing your logo isn't gonna do shit. You still use Google.
And to top it off, let’s be honest, the logo is an eyesore!
the quirky pseudo-8bit t-rex flag M isn't cool..?
I do not see a TREX, maybe more like a chicken lol
To me it's like a different take on the Google t-rex that jumps over cactuses when your internet is down.
Maybe if that TREX developed anorexia lol
it’s fucking nasty aye
We teamed up with global branding powerhouse
Oh, that's how you know it's not going to be capitalist slime [/s]. This logo rebranding one of the worst visual changes a company like Mozilla can make. We truly are in trying times...
Edit: added /s tag, in case it wasn't clear.
Finally some international ß representation.
Anything that is at least tangentially connected to the technology, social media platforms, informational technologies and tech policy.
