Well, to be fair, the "free speech" thing is fact-checkable in their own words: it's right on top of the damn rules page.

Given what counts as misogyny these days, I don't even think vacuum is considered free of it.
Can we shove the SJWs into vacuum, so that they can report back firsthand? I mean, they want us to value their input, right?
As long as the obligations of the BSD license are followed; it is not a free-for-all.
That's not terribly burdensome.
"Copyright 2015 by Forkers, LLC. Based on code copyright 2014 by BSD Baddasses, Inc. This software isn't guaranteed to do a damn thing."
That sweet, sweet two-clause.
For fuck's sake... it's been how many decades and you people still can't get this right?
Godwin's Law states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1." That's it! None of this "losing the argument" bullshit.
Besides the fact that Mozilla is a non-profit (Which most people don't know.) with a mission of web standards
That doesn't stop them from making increasingly bone-headed decisions in the name of chasing scummy money (see: Yahoo, Pocket).
all around best browser for everyone but especialy for those of us who work in the IT industry.
What part of the "IT industry" do you work in that doesn't have any non-technical users who need support every 4-6 weeks because they fucked with the UI.. oh, I'm sorry, the UX... yet again?
Perhaps as important is that Webkit (Perhaps soon Project Spartan also.) needs competition and Mozilla's Gecko engine is just that, we are entering an age where Webkit will take a huge share of the browser pie so competition and diversity is key to our continued development.
Then maybe they should focus more on pulling Gecko out of the cesspit it's been marinading in, rather than wallowing in kitchen-sink me-tooism? Just a thought.
Plus, you can save money by firing all your UI developers.
Into space.
What makes you think that anyone will be able to maintain, let alone improve, Chromium if Google or other monied interests don't do it? Do you think people who know how to make browsers just magically spring up from the woodwork?
By that logic, why does the fact that Firefox is open source make a lick of difference?
"Folks said that Pocket should have been a bundled add-on that could have been more easily removed entirely from the browser. We tend to agree with that, and fixing that for Pocket and any future partner integrations is one concrete piece of engineering work we need to get done."
And...? It was already an add-on. Unless what they're trying to "fix" is the decision making process (doubtful, looking at the past three or four years), that's about as trustworthy as when they claimed they added the shit into the browser "based on user feedback."
In 2011 they were one of the most trusted companies for privacy concerns on the net. Now they're trying to copy Google's business model, apparently, and doing it badly.
Everyone knows Amazon brings Firefox practically to a halt.
Damn, I thought that was just me. I've been trying forever to find what combination of add-ons was causing it.
Fuck drones. Gundams are coming!
This is the first I've heard of it. Unfortunately, I think I should leave it that way.
I just don't think I can take the risk of that kind of heartbreak right now...
I am turgid with excitement.
Maybe it's nicotine withdrawal, but that just made me think "Juffo-Wup fills in my fibers and I grow turgid. Violent action ensues."
Might want to go easy on the self-righteousness there, MS Security Engineer AC. Just because the FUD is bullshit doesn't mean that the whole idea isn't a massive "painstakingly designed" misfeature that should never have seen the light of day.
What? I... wait...
Are you fucking with us?
Does "maths" sound similarly wrong to US ears? (Ok, not _wrong_, but you know what I mean)
Until I started chatting regularly with some gamer buddies in the UK, yes, it sounded rather odd. I dealt with it the same way you do.
