Yes. They offloaded their security because they were too dumb, cheep, or lazy. They created a massive pile of treasure with a single entry point, then hand waved it away as a solved problem and stopped paying attention. They got their jewelery stolen because they gave one or two security guards the keys for the entire neighborhood, and the security guards lost the key ring and the burglars walked in. This is the risk you assume when you don't understand what you're doing, and don't watch the people you hired to know things for you. Thing is, they'll pay the parking ticket and keep moving, because it's easier than actually doing their jobs. The only people who might be affected are the customers, no big deal to them. The best part for them is that they can say "Well it's not OUR fault, it was this irresponsible security company. We fired them, and you can trust us to better next time.", and the world keeps spinning, zero consequences. This used to ruin a company's reputation, but customers are too dependent and too forgiving, so nothing will change.

You don't use much open-source software then, do you?

Donations work pretty damn well for Blender.org . Of course, they don't have a bloated staff, or change things for the hell of it. The other posts are correct; Mozilla has too many extraneous devs working on shit no one wants. Reduce the staff, work on important updates, and stop fucking with the UI.

Read the title and thought Facebook was doing something dumb, but it turns out they're actually doing something that makes sense. And it doesn't look like a mob or regulatory agency is forcing them to... Did I slip into a parallel universe?

Would you care to elaborate?

They also disabled browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll. When a bunch of people reported it, one of the devs effectively said "no" then locked the bog report, and is closing all new reports as duplicates.

The only way I found to fix the issue was to literally hack it back into firefox.

This is all a long way of saying; I use firefox above other browsers because I can customize it to disable the BS I don't want, and enable timesaving features I do want. More and more, they demonstrate that they care less about what the users want, and more about what will make their job easier.

Firefox doesn't give a shit.
Google collects every bit of data they can find on us, private browsing or not (and it's disabling most ways to enhance it).
Edge is a shittier MS version of Chrome.
IE is so dead that even Wordpress is dropping it.


There goes the neighborhood.
