A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

maybe its just me, but as useful and nice to know as this is, I really want Mozilla to focus their efforts on making a good browser, not to spend money doing everything but that.

There are a lot of anti-features (studies, pocket, telemetry, "sponsored suggestions", etc..) that are justified in "we have to make money somehow" but then they spend it on this stuff.

Hot take: their browser is good.

Sure, I mean I want them to focus their energy on it.

Their goal is a healthy and open internet, with the browser being one method of achieving that.
