Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

@yoasif@fedia.io If we can't have #firefox without #mozilla, then we are doomed. Mozilla survives with google's money and that is so fragile that don't seem a guarantee for future.
#ladybird is progresing, there are people in so many projects that now depend on firefox. And european funds can be used sometime in future for any project that assure enough web freedom. I think some things are changing fast. I hope it serves for reconfiguring web scene.
I don't really get why you think developing Ladybird will progress faster than Firefox - or a Firefox fork.
There's a larger community behind Gecko and it is a more complete browser. It doesn't make sense to me that paid development would go into Ladybird over Chromium or Gecko.
Without paid development, you don't have a browser that stays working, so I don't really see that as an option., sadly.
More of an option for Gemini, imo.
@yoasif@fedia.io I don't think Ladybird will progress faster, but eventually could be a simpler option that would attract attention and public funds.
The problem with google funds is a big one. And that is the seed of my caring.
Nothing is stopping public funding of Firefox, so I don't see it as an either, or situation.
Would you deny Ladybird search revenues? It is an interesting question.
@yoasif@fedia.io My point is not firefox versus ladybird, but free softwar web browser. In that regard, I see competing projects as a virtue.
IMHO, free software funding should be, if possible, public and based on interested people/organizations, not via publicity for another big corporation.
