>>61193440
Firefox was basically the only browser I used for years, then I started using chrome for some things that wouldn't work on firefox, then for basically everything but 4chan, and about a month ago I finally switched completely.

I opened firefox the other day because there was something I bookmarked in it that I never transferred over to chrome and I could not believe how slow it was. I had just been used to shit for so long I thought it was decent. The only thing I miss about firefox was the setting that deleted your history every time you closed the browser, but guess what, there's a chrome extension for that.

I'm not defending Google's lack of privacy, but I am also not defending Mozilla's monetary decisions.

You don't spends thousands of dollars on a billboard unless you expect to make money off it, so what are Mozilla selling here?

>>61193563
You must be doing something seriously wrong then. I have a Phenom II processor, 4 GB of RAM and a 500 GB hard disk yet it takes only around 5 seconds from opening Firefox (14 addons installed) until my home page has loaded fully (caching disabled).

>how new

>>61194222
No, it's not a public service announcement, it's an ad for their browser, and they referred to it by icon rather than name as if every John Dipshit passing by knows what firefox is.

>>61194262
Of course its an ad. And of course they will put there logo on something they paid for even though it is small. And it should be a PSA as privacy is a becoming a bigger concern everyday even if people dont realize or care.

>>61194315
It literally has a message at the bottom saying to use their browser, I'm not sure how you're reading this as some selfless act to warn people about google. It's just a smear on google because they can get more donation money if they have a larger market share.

>>61194356
I'm not sure how you think I think its a selfless act. Mozillas cause and mission statement is better than googles. Plain and simple.

>>61194191
It's not fake

They had these in San Francisco for all hands for the week. It's a meeting where mozilla devs meet to discuss how to make firefox great again (tm)

>>61193646
as much as I dislike the practice, even tossing that cash at random normie pajeetware devs to bribe them to bundle firefox the way google got chrome included with everything would have been far more effective

>>61196009
You're seriously doing something wrong, there is no reason that firefox should be performing like that, nor any other application.

>>61196139
firefox has always done this to me.

memory leaks.

Does this mean I'm a computer genius?

>>61193530
The fact that Chrome is botnet doesn't make Firefox any less fucking garbage. I'd rather use Chromium and risk a backdoor than use a shitty browser.

>>61196362
I have firefox installed on 4 computers. Both windows and linux. Never had issues, performance on par with chrome. I must be one lucky sob

Is that an actual billboard? They really missed the fucking mark if they're trying to advertise to the average person

I work in computer repair, about 40-50% of the clients I help don't know what the term "web browser" means. They also wouldn't recognize the Chrome colors, and probably not the Firefox logo either. Literally the only people this ad will make sense to are people who already know enough to have chosen Chrome over Firefox.

If Mozilla is this shit at advertising then no wonder Firefox is hemorrhaging market share. That and Firefox has been getting progressively worse.

>>61196433
That billboard may spark some interest in people who already don't know about Firefox and start doing some research on it. They may take privacy a bit more seriously afterwards

>>61196609
Nowhere on the billboard does it say the word "Firefox", it just has the logo. Anyone who would recognize the logo already knows about it. The only people this would spark interest in are people who know enough to recognize browser logos, but not enough to know the difference between the browsers.

>>61193509
The only non free browser right now is Edge.

>>61196645
You're forgetting Chrome. Chropera, Safari, and a few others.

>>61194754
>>61194764
They never alienated their community. Firefox is still the browser of choice for power users and people who value their privacy. Chrome is the browser of choice for moms and simple people who like having their options taken away from them.

I tried it on osx a few years ago and it kept causing filesystem corruption for some reason. Kind of impressive level of fuck-up.

Have a chromebook I installed linux on, and firefox is the way to go. I have multithreaded on and it's still much, much easier on resources than chromium, more stable, and more customizable.

Maybe I'll try it on macos when grand tetons drops and they have a different fs. I'm also eager for servo to be integrated since it seems a lot better than gecko, which is a bit shitty with font rendering.

No, let's face it, you want to get fucked in the ass.

Anyway, apple is plenty sjw too, and ungoogled is constantly out of date. And worse than firefox.

Fuck SJW fox. And fuck you commie garbage.

>not using the surf masterrace

>>61197397
yeah, apple is shit too regarding their politics and world vierws. but at least I can be semi sure that they dont sell my data.

how does SJWfox make money? Why the incentive to get more users and even pay for advertisements.

I love Firefox. Use it every day. Very customizable with its about:config (you can disable tracking bullshit like websockets, etc) and improved further with addons like uMatrix and uBlock Origin. And it doesn't come shipped with botnet as a feature.

>>61197419
>how does SJWfox make money?
mozilla is a nonprofit retard

>>61197182
Chrome is technically open source, since it's just Chromium with auto-update and some extra codecs.

>>61197430
where do the paychecks for the SJW developers and nigger females they employ come from lol?

>>61197419
holy shit, learn about the stuff before arguing against it.

>implying your ISP isn't fully aware of your browsing habits already

>can't altavista shit for himself

>>61197493
even then there's a lot of fishy "report back to mothership" crap in chromium

>>61193440
It will be when 57 drops. Then it will be little different from any Chromium based browser.

>>61197665
so, basically firefox will be just like vivladi, another chromium skin lol?

>expectin sjws to actually program their own software, instead of riping off open source projects and rebranding them

Don't all web browsers steal data from their users.

How else do they make money.

How does Mozilla make money?

If everything is "free" and open they have to do something for money. I doubt donations can help in the grand scheme of things. Unless they believe that having a lot of users will gives them enough people that will donate to make it worth it?

>>61197680
It's gonna be just as worthless as pretty much everything else when it comes to privacy.

Take NoScript. As of now, it won't work when 57 drops this November. Meanwhile, if you go to NoScript Lite, there's a little green bar next to the add-on saying that it will work with FF 57. It will basically only work with Chrome addons, but won't let you use the Chrome store.

I don't understand why FF is feeling the need to do this. It's better to offer something different and have a smaller group of people who are happy with your product than it is to design your browser to be exactly like another one. You're not gonna win over any new users from Chrome/Chromium/Brave by offering nothing different.

>>61197705
Searching engine agreements. Like they make money by making Yahoo the default search engine. That, plus donations.

>>61197712
>I don't understand why FF is feeling the need to do this. It's better to offer something different and have a smaller group of people who are happy with your product than it is to design your browser to be exactly like another one
they are fucking marketers and sjws. if they rip off chromium, they can fire those cis gender white and asian males who do programming and focus on the important stuff.. promoting gender pronouns lol

>>61197733
And leave the internet quite a bit worse off. Brave shows potential, but it's a long way from FF.

But hell, I'd be happy if FF just did what Flash did for Linux. Make a long term version of 56, and just patch in Security Updates. It's not like anyone really uses any of the new features, anyways. I've been on FF exclusively for the past 2 years, and I really can't tell you what's changed from FF40 to FF54.

>>61197802
Weird, because the performance improvements brought by multithreading could be felt with the naked eye for me.

How does Opera deal with privacy? They do seem to make a big show of it, but you mention 'Chromium' and Opera is Chromium based.

>>61198326
It's not even the best chromium based browser for privacy. That goes to Brave, which would be just about perfect if you could selectively edit which scripts you allow, instead of it being an "all or nothing" type of thing.

>>61193440
So they waste donations on billboards in SV while dropping huge legacy components of their main product that set them apart from the competition?

So how do I into Chrome without Google.

>>61198509

>>61198523
you can't

Firefox is pretty bad in the privacy department too. The safe browsing feature sends URL and download data to Google, link pre-fetching loads pages before you click on them, WebRTC is a giant security hole (the ekansovi thing was getting around ad blockers using it), geolocation enabled by default, "social integration". At least you can this shit, unlike Chrome, but I'm sure you haven't.
