You did not read the entire post you first replied to, did you?

I wonder, how increasing CEO pay year by year worked out for them.

Certainly, definitely not in growing the user base, but also not in revenue that would make up it.

@CrypticCoffee

Wasn't by far my only point.

However: Making a commitment and then pulling back, is a statement.

Exactly! Mozilla wants people to know, they don't give a shit.

A few years of party for executives are still possible, and just before Firefox and Thunderbird go into oblivion, quickly into a new management position at an ai company (or whatever may be the hype, then).

Mark my words!

Running a simple Mastodon server is not a big thing.

Setting up a resilient big instance, like Vivaldi does, requires commitment.

I am definitely starting to hate #Mozilla.

As a remark: I have always been fine with their deal with Pocket and having Google as their default search engine. In the end, there are bills to be paid.

Until I learned that e.g. Mozilla Corporation's CEO is on a multi-million dollar salary, and they're hiring ai and ad people.

Not OK for an entity where many highly skilled people code for free.

It's not what users want the cash to be spent on.

Leaving the Fedi is the final drop

Same!

But isn't it a bit sad, we've all become so paranoic whilst at the same time being total oblivious to sharing lots of data, just because we want to know what the kitten did to the alligator?

Yes, It was easier to do truly representative polls, when people loved answering questions and everybody had a landline.

Oh fuck!

I'm way too used to CaMelCase, it seems.

@Uncle_Abbie

This is way a too revolutionary idea.

@JackbyDev

I'm sorry.

It was certainly never my intention to impose myself like an official channel or something like that.

I still welcome a debate here.

@jangdonggun

Of course, it's not official.

I made this poll, as just a normal Fedi user.

It got more attention than I had anticipated, though.

 

The poll is over, and the result is clear:

#FireFox users have very little interest for Chatbot integration into their browser.

I am very much aware that the people, who voted in this poll are hardly a representative sample, but more than 2.4K people is a better size than many "professional" opinion polls.

@mozilla & @firefox should take people, who actually care about their #browser choice, seriously.

I still seriously believe that #Mozilla's fate matters,

Hello @firefox

Until recently, #AltText⁣s showed in #FireFox as a small box when I hovered over an image. Now, not any more. 🙁

Is this a bug or a feature, or does it only happen to me?

If this is a new setting, where can it be re-enabled?
