If you think you know what happened or the context, you probably don't. Please don't make assumptions. Thank you.
I think that means that it's opt-in.
It'll be at the hands of whatever jurisdiction the forker is in. It's not like you can escape governments.
Anyone who thinks they know what needs to happen for Firefox to regain market share, needs to consider what would happen if someone forks Firefox and makes that happen.
There's no way that CSS theming is it. And in general, "not doing something" isn't going to be it, either.
That only applies to personally-identifiable information.
There's always butt hair.
Of course the tabs would just come back up next time they open the browser window again. Can't risk losing those precious tabs, there might be an important one among them.
Signed, a tab hoarder.
It's fantastic, for two reasons:
- There's so much great software available through it, and I can always get the latest version regardless of my distro - or an older version if it hasn't kept up with its dependencies.
- It's part of the tooling that allows me to update my operating system without risk of it breaking (i.e. I can use an atomic distro because of it).
Support it or you won’t know what you lost.
Note that the best way to support it is to actually use its products, Firefox in particular. That's what gives Mozilla the ability to influence the direction of the web and web standards.
It's a lot of work and a relatively small market, in addition to have to ship it as a separate version that's different from the version in the rest of the world, and subject to Apple's onerous restrictions and review policy, and it's clear that Apple is not looking to make this as frictionless as possible.
Wow, I'm amazed by the number of contributors that a relatively niche product like this has managed to gather - very cool!

Please please please if this happens, institute reciprocal tariffs on services. Nobody would care if it becomes more expensive to advertise on Facebook, and we have a trade deficit in services.
(OK I guess lots of companies would care if their IT infrastructure gets more expensive, but 🤷)
