Waterfox is a browser, obviously based on Firefox, but without default “junk” that Firefox comes with.

Don’t see many mentions to Waterfox at all in this community? Are there any specific reasons for it? Seems like a neat version of Firefox, with development based out of the UK.

    Don’t discuss Geopolitics on Lemmy. It is a bad idea

    Mozilla makes money from Firefox pocket and the sponsored part if the Firefox home screen. You can turn those off but it is still advertising

      Maybe but it’s a far cry from Mozilla being an advertising company.

      They aren’t even remotely close to companies like Google.

      Why is geopolitics bad on Lemmy? You have NATO and Israel preferences?

      I do not consider Pocket as evidence of Mozilla being an “advertisement company”. Have you ever donated even a penny to Mozilla at any point in time? Have you offered them a sustainable way to make money, instead of shitting on anything they need to resort to?

        Mozilla non profit and Mozilla company are different entities.

        Also Lemmy tends to be extreme left and pro China and Russia. I don’t really like discussing politics on social media anyway so I tend to just ignore it.

          Mozilla non profit and Mozilla company are different entities.

          Both are intertwined.

          Lemmy tends to be extreme left and pro China and Russia.

          Based? I see all western platforms cheering the genocide of Palestinian Jews and Muslims right now. These were the same platforms lying about Uyghur Muslim genocide a few years ago. Lemmy actually looks like a sensible geopolitical place.

            I just think the issues are often more complex than people see. People put up there blinders and refuse to see anything that might make them question there own views.
