Then take out the AI, the telemetry, and the bloat like it was the mid-2000s.
Oh wait -that’s what Waterfox did.
sigh
I will stick with LibreWolf, but I do love this ad.
Been using Firefox since was called Phoenix, but some months ago I moved away to Librewolf, and I’m not going back, no matter the ad campaign. I feel my privacy is at risk, and I feel like I was a product that they need to monetize. No thanks
Man it’s too bad they didn’t get Rick Astley in there too. Could’ve licensed the song too.
Makes sense.
Boomer millennials are their main customer base.
Google fanboys out in force today! Generational divide is not real, class divide is the thing you should concern yourself with.
It’s a browser.
If you genuinely think there’s fanboys about that.
Well Jesus H Christ you need to get out more.
And yet
You’re acting like a fanboy getting offended when someone doesn’t share your opinion.
I know
Thanks, I hate it. Not the browser, but the ad. I don’t want stale nostalgia. I want a modern, secure, privacy-oriented ecosystem and tools which help taking the internet back from the claws of megacorporations. Tools which help building new communities and resilience to corporate enshittification. The ad just rubs me entirely the wrong way.
Ask yourself why would Mozilla spend money on this advertisement?
Because they want market share back? Not exactly hard.
I pose the question not because it’s hard to answer, but because the answer should make you think of follow-up questions.
- Why do they want market share?
- To make more money.
- How does a web browser make money?
- By exploiting its users.
- How are they exploiting users?
These are just some examples. I’m sure you can think of more.
In a capitalist system, you advocate to never trust anyone under any circumstance. “To make more money” can just mean putting food on tables rather than be damning evidence of malfeasance. We already know for sure that Google is worse, so what do you suggest we do with your comment?
