  1. They regularly do (e.g. Pale Moon), and then people complain that the team supporting those forks must be too small, and the splintering continues.

  2. It's hard to see unsurveiled access to the web as a goal of Mozilla while Firefox keeps reporting in your keystrokes when trying to enter an address, automatically downloading and running hostile DRM binaries, etc.

  3. 6:53 How would donating to Mozilla get us ad-free privacy friendly software again? Firefox has added automatic downloading and running of hostile "DRM" binaries specifically against both claimed advantages and user requests (the setting not to do that doesn't stop it, and that's not the only sanity option removed or broken), and grown increasingly hostile towards ad blockers, albeit at a slightly slower rate than Google. It seems it would make more sense to support KDE, Pale Moon or Mullvad. KDE's KHTML for Konqueror is the origin of Apple's WebKit, by the way.

  4. It's worse than just on by default. We can't even configure cookie whitelisting anymore, and if you turn DRM off and remove the preinstalled DRM blobs, then open dropbox (not even logged in or accessing any media), you get to see it complain that the DRM blob it freshly downloaded and ran didn't work as expected. Firefox actively lies about the privacy features it offers.

  5.  @interruptingPreempt  Windows itself had one of the most blatant and infamous examples of Microsoft's fraud against competitors, featuring a bogus error message just in case it detected DR-DOS.

  6. I tried to use Pocket once. It didn't make much sense, and there was no way to tell what it regarded as an "article". Konqueror's "Archive Web Page" is far more predictable.
