Why?

Not true.

Navigator died a horrible death, and Phoenix (later Firefox), being a fork of it, survived just fine.

That was after the reddit migration. Lemmy was much better before the reddit doom-and-gloom gang made themselves home.

FUCK U.S. politics creeping in every non-US politics thread.

You're being downvoted by clueless people.

At that point the forks will become its own thing and depart from Firefox.

Which is ironically and exactly how Firefox came to be.

Netscape fucked up Navigator, some folks forked Navigator and created Phoenix - which then was renamed to Firebird, then Firefox. And somewhere in that timeline the Mozilla foundation ditched Navigator in favor of the fork.

So what you're saying is, you're not the target audience for the article.

And how much do these products you're an ambassador of cost?

And are these new start-ups, or mega-companies?

Oh.

I guess both actions have ups and downs.

To me, calling it Twitter reminds me of the shitty shit Twitter has ever been. I never liked the thing. I vividly remember when BBC started quoting random tweets - it made me a little sick. Then all news outlets followed suit.

And if Elon hates it that people call it Twitter, then even better!

I'm not talking about elections.

Alternative pronunciation: Shittier.

But that's what Elon wants, and fuck that guy.

Twitter or Xitter for me. Maaaaybe X (formerly known as Twitter), but never X alone.

Especially because it's a fucking confusing name in a tech space. I swear I thought the headline referred to X Window at first.

This is why the right makes fun of the left.

Though I just hope you were joking.

Why spread a good thing to the world? Just let people enjoy their wiretappy thing.... jesus christ.

Yes, it's Firefox without the bullshit.

It's ironic that Firefox started the same way, actually.

When Netscape open sourced its browser and then fucked it up, some folks took the source code and built "Phoenix," much, much later becoming Firefox.

Sure, sure, other browsers do it. But I expected more of Mozilla.

Pocket was already bad enough, but it was kiiiiinda related to browsing anyway - it was a glorified bookmarking tool. It had a nice purpose too - save pages for online reading - but they seem to have gotten rid of that and I'm mad about it.

Nah my good shill. I've had very interesting discussions about contrarian points in the past, and they've been enlightening. This one is..... I mean, if you're really not a shill, then be aware that baking that feature into a web browser is selfishly unnecessary.

And that's the bullshit part. It shouldn't be native. A browser should be a browser.

Sure, Mozilla customer representative #37.
