I promise that when I reboot the Mozilla brand after their inevitable collapse, I will not make it "the modern AI (sic) browser."

1. It supports www, as well as Gopher, ftp, and the good Gemini
2. Using udm14 instead of Google, which will no longer be the default
3. Fully funding MDN and Gecko via taxes on web sales and kickass branded swag
4. so-called "AI" will not be shipped
Vote for me to be the next Mozilla CEO!

Come on, we'd all be wearing the crap out of that shirt.

Maybe we can make them an offer, lol

in reply to Veronica Explains • • •I was looking for something witty to answer but I mean ... unironically ... ok sure not a gofundme but more like a foundation or something but um, this is tempting
(Yes, I know Mozilla does have a foundation, no, I have no idea how it works and how technically doable this is, but still)

A real concerted organization-lead fork of Firefox is needed - stat.

in reply to QwikStop Haderach • • •There is (ironically) a moz-created project called @servo - a fresh browser engine written in #rust, along with a browser it's based on called #Verso - though it is not yet available. This seems to be our best hope for now.

in reply to Veronica Explains • • •Speaking as a technologist, these claims are dogshit. They say, "We're putting AI in your browser." I say, FINISH THE PITCH. YOU'RE PUTTING AI IN MY BROWSER SO THAT...
GOT NOTHING? SO THAT WHAT‽ SAY SOMETHING TANGIBLE I CAN RELATE TO.
This isn't weird granola-munching retro-grouch opposition. These are the questions I was trained to ask as a product manager, and trained to say when speaking to the press.
You don't need to be an AI skeptic to recognize shitty leadership choices.

If you're determined to shoehorn it in, how about making it something people can easily turn ON?
