I’m gonna say it louder for the folks in the back: Mozilla is not what you think it is. Mozilla is not what they say they are. Mozilla is just another for-profit Silicon Valley tech company that has a not-for-profit doing its PR.

  Wow so the #Mozilla engineer disagrees and claims "#GDPR has done a great deal of harm" (I didn't understand his argument why) but now diverted to saying the #browser should be the platform collect all the personal data and then provide it in aggregated form to advertisers. This would "give control to people while also unlocking the data". 🥱 And all in a sudden, #SurveillanceAdvertising is not a #humanrights issue any more but merely a question of "governance".

  @vancura @aral @Vivaldi Orion, WebKit-based, is interesting. It claims to support some Firefox and Chrome extensions.

  @markstos @aral @Vivaldi I can’t wait for LadyBird to come, but for now, there’s also Orion by Kagi.

  @vancura @aral @Vivaldi There’s no perfect browser, and it’s good to hold Firefox to a high standard along with all the others, but context matters.
  It seems like there are two primary options: either a browser based on Chromium or one based on Firefox.
  And the Chromium family already has more than 70% market share, creating a kind monoculture.
  Maybe one day there will be a strong third option based on LadyBird or something else, but that’s not today

  @vancura @aral @Vivaldi That’s the recommended alternative to Firefox, a browser engine made by Google and reskinned by Vivaldi?
