Wow, that really was a wall of text.

Is it just me that sometimes get the feeling that when companies have to explain them selves with this amoubt of text, they actually know that they are doing something wrong but are trying to cover it up by these long and unnecessary explanations?


> they are doing something wrong but are trying to cover it up

That's what most of folks says in this sub-tree


I recently started using Firefox again, because of all the madness around Chrome and the change of how add-ons (mainly uBlock and similar) would work.

And it felt kinda good, i actually thought that Firefox was different and a part of "the good guys", now it doesn't feel that way anymore. Sigh.


I don't know of any "good guys" whatsoever that ever managed to build and maintain a browser. Anyone?

Maybe one day we'll have a usable FOSS browser but I doubt it (the companies will fight tooth and nail against it including legal means, buying out companies, blocking content for them, etc.).


I think the guys that built WebKit originally (Konqueror) are kinda good guys. I still sponsor KDE with a monthly donation <3 But the browser wasn't really kept up, I don't think they had the money for it. It lives on in Safari though.
