Will Firefox go bad?

Wednesday, May 14. 2008

The large user community of Firefox results from a distrust in regard of the good intentions of Firefox and a the strong believe, that open source products are inherently good. But what browser should you use, when the CEO of Mozilla thinks about massively collecting data from the users. Going back to Microsoft, using Opera or should i say goodbye to all this multimedia stuff and start to use lynx. Will this end in telnet c0t0d0s0.org 80 as the last way to browse without being subject to data collecting?

hi joerg -- as i've said in the comment stream, trying to start a conversation about this -- what's objectionable to you about talking about it? i ask this sincerely -- data collection is happening around the world in many many ways that people can't see -- it seems to me that talking about it -- in terms of what's useful, what's not, what's okay, what's not -- that that's a conversation to have. how does that erode trust?

thanks for taking the time to comment on my blog -- engaging is good, and what i was hoping for.

Opera looks like the only real alternative since Safari doesn't support addons on Windows.

But as always there will be a way to deactivate it... maybe in about:config?
