Here's Moonchild in 2020 announcing that he will no longer accept donations through Patreon, because he claims they got "political" by putting a Black Lives Matter banner at the top of their home page. He instead endorses the "politically neutral" Paypal, owned by a billionare who has never done anything political. https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=192120#p192120
Here's Moonbat, one of the current developers, in 2024 talking about how Elon Musk taking over Twitter improved things by driving away "lefty control freaks" (though it's worth noting Moonchild disagreed with Moonbat in the following post). https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=31234&p=252614#p252431
@rail_ Mozilla is such a terrible company, really sucks that they are the only alternative to chromium based browsers, and they still suck as a company.
This is why we need a community maintained browser, something that is made by the community and for the community. Where those maintaining it aren't insulated from the community's wishes. Mozilla is insulated from them and that's a big problem for the future of Firefox, and anything else they make.
@Draconic_NEO@rail_@mozilla good news: ladybird is a new browser with new engine in the works. bad news: probably not ready for use at least until 2026-27
