I'm not, but it's not like it's an occasional thing. Every time it's brought up, it's trashed. Free software that does a better job than anything else free, and folk bash it. Either they like and are motivated by Adobe dominance, or they're useful idiots.
It's balanced to say "great program, but could do with a UI improvement". It isn't to say it's unusable because of UI. I cannot imagine any free software advocate should be proud of taking that line.
I have suspected for a while it is astroturfing. Same as with GIMP and Libre Office where inevitably someone will trash the UI as it's "soooo bad". If you say a lie, and repeat it enough, people start to believe it.
Thanks for your work on Pulsar. Atom was my go to simple editor before MS killed it off. I'm still fuming now. I really need to try Pulsar :). Been using Kate for now.
A car sat nav, and something like GrapheneOS does hands free calling. Not sure if you can sync music through it as I haven't tried yet.
I think the individual items are probably workable, but an integrated experience, possibly not.
Out of curiosity what would you recommend? I'm aware of PiHole, but many struggle to get hold of a pi. Any other good options?
I fear the number of sites taking that hit would be so many that we may feel excluded from the web. It feels really dangerous and we need more people on FF asap to make it clear to businesses that this is too costly to be worth it and they're losing a lot of users.
Good luck. Credit to you for trying again :). There is FF sync where you can sync between devices easier also.
Bloated is a weird nebulous term. Chrome is bloated because of telemetry. Bloat generally means things in the software that are not needy.
I think clunky is the term you're looking for. I cannot think of what it has in the UI that isn't needed.
You sure it was SA and not admins cleaning up disguised as a flag?
Mozilla income went from $78m to $497m. It's a much bigger organisation to before. Also if you inflation rate the 500k pay, it's now worth $710k

The web changed, and complexity increased and even staying in there against a larger adversary is hard. Unless you run a company that is competing with Google, I don't think you're really qualified to comment.
Edit: Just realise your description has "Fuck Mozilla!" and you've been bashing it since you started on Lemmy. Looks very shilly to me.
Do you really think this will pull in more traffic than the API blackout?
Damn, this positivity isn't welcome in free software circles! How can I respect you? (Kidding, I think you and your positivity is awesome.)
