  1. Microsoft basing their re-engineered Edge browser on Chromium was just a stupid idea anyway. At this point Google has become their major competitor, so basing Edge on a project so heavily controlled by a major competitor was a bonehead move. But I guess basing it on a Mozilla/Gecko/Firefox codebase (being a descendent of the very same Mozilla browser MS tried to kill before) would have been SO ironic their heads would have exploded.

  2. Except at the moment it's still possible to get away from or (somewhat) work around Apple. Now, in the upcoming version of MacOS if Apple decides to *ONLY* allow installing applications from the Apple App Store, THEN there can be a case against them.

  4. Looks like we need to move to Haiku and NetPositive.

  5. "Mudzilla". As in their name is mudd.

  6. It's humorous in the same way it's humorous to see how people manage to induct themselves into the Darwin Awards.

  7. Heck no. In fact, I'm MORE concerned about Thunderbird dying than I am about Firefox. FF can die ONLY in the case there's someplace to maintain the codebase core for the derivative browsers to work from.

  8. Bad idea. There needs to be multiple core codebases, unrelated to each other. Otherwise you will see a monoculture that will end up spreading a contagion.

  9. Ladybird? Pale Moon? Maybe it's time to dust off NCSA Mosaic or Spyglass...

  10. I think it's meant as an intentional insult, as in Mozilla being mired in the mud of their own making (hence "Mudzilla"). Kind of like how George Bush Sr. mispronounced Sadaam Hussein's name because his "mispronunciation" was an insulting word.

  11. One thing's for certain; if there's NO dominant browser in the market, then web developers will have to START doing their f**king jobs and test against ALL browsers, instead of shoving a minimal test against a single OS/browser combo and call their job done.

  12. A few years back the Thunderbird project was talking about starting up a paid email service, which would fund their project. I had been waiting for them to implement it so I could switch over to that. But that plan obviously fell through.

  13. Maybe after Google sells of Chrome, Mozilla will sell off Firefox... I'm probably *MORE* concerned about what will happen to Thunderbird.

  14. Beautiful birth??? Nope, the internet is already an abortion.

  15. Some days I look forward to the collapse of The Internet. Then I'll go buy an abandoned village in Japan and spend my tim restoring the local shrine and vintage buildings. It will take a while to learn the old crafts.
