Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Why? The other teams have the source code, they can just continue extending it or just maintaining it.
And having just switched from Firefox to LibreWolf yesterday, it took all of 20 minutes to do. It's not like you'll be hung out to dry without the Internet if you are correct. You would just switch to another browser again.

You think the librewolf team is up to doing feature development and that they'll get a seat at the standards table? Because they're not doing that now, feature development is way more work, and if Mozilla goes the way of the dodo who knows if anyone else gets a seat at the standards table. The only other members are megacorps that don't any incentive to let in new groups and Mozilla is only there because of history
Nobody follows the actual web standards anyway. Everybody just follows Google because all the web devs can't be bothered to do anything but Chrome compatibility, and Google can't be bothered with updating the actual codified standards before pushing out new shit.
This is just straight up bullshit.
Which is even worse, of course. Already it's basically impossible for Mozilla to keep up with all of Google's underspecified whims.
google heads whatwg. they are the web standard.
