I am a big fan of Firefox+Thunderbird and subscribe to Pocket, Mozilla VPN and Firefox Relay. I don't think she was the right CEO for the job, coming into the job because she was needed after the Eich debacle, not because she was the best choice. When I listened or read interviews with her I sensed a lack of focus, which I think came through with the lack of focus and commitment I sense in Firefox's products. She seems like a better fit for chair of the foundation, pursuing pie in the sky ideas rather than in the trenches trying to rebuild Mozilla's presence and diversify their revenues. Pocket has stagnated under their care, and actually grown less useful to the point I am considering switching. The Android browser is stuck in time. I don't think it's a coincidence that Thunderbird has flourished after pursuing a semi-independent structure: they finally had people who actually cared about the product calling the shots.
The Corporation dropped Thunderbird before Eich left, before he made the infamous donation in fact. It floundered until the right people found it, and to be fair the foundation didn't exactly prioritize that either.
It's not independent though, it is a fully owned commercial subsidiary of the foundation just like the Corporation is.
Stuck in time after the addon thing? It's an amazing change.
In terms of UI, yes. The addons are years delayed. I am not criticizing the browser in itself, which I enjoy and use daily. But it is lacking in investment, meaning they can't add features at a competitive rate
I had to stop using Pocket and moved to Raindrop.io because the search on pocket has been soooooo bad.
+1 for Raindrop. Not sure why it gets a low-ish rating cos I find it A* best ever bookmarkign plugin and I've been using various ones since early Delicious and Diigo.
Honestly, I have everything organized in there and the search is top tier. I collect a lot of resources I need to reference later and find. My other favourite extension is Unlimited History. It's so useful when I need to find something.
What the fuck are you talking about? This garbled comment deserves the cesspool.
I asked first? its not the best but its necesary wtf????
Sometimes I'm astonished by people's inability to put together coherent thoughts. I think it it comes from a complete lack of self awareness, but I'm unsure. Working theory.
Sure, you are the king of the coherence. Citing you:
How on earth this does have sense in the corporative world and not only in the woke one?
Do you think all the users replying to you are the same person? Lmao
Aneurysm posting mf
What the hell are you talking about hahaha
