Or the 1/4 that didn't fall completely in line with the required groupthink? I suspect it's a lot more likely to be some intersection of the last two than the first one, or the N people associated with garbage like Pocket etc.
(I'm all for being able to get away from the depressing state of reality, but I don't think deepening our filter bubbles is healthy, civically responsible, or practical. Read a book or play a single-player game.)
That said, it is the newest in a series of extension ideas, with the previous two being very practical ideas for alternative tab management extensions, and we can't all produce winners all the time.

If WebAssembly doesn't require the code to come open as HTML / CSS / Javascript that the browser and users can analyze it, I think it will be broken by design

Since Mozilla's upper management role and compensation has been called into question multiple times in this thread I'd like to mention that there will be announcements soon about that too. The cuts affected all the organization and upper management wasn't spared.

It's sad that Mozilla has to lay off 250 people, and it is even more sad that the people who have been running the show and manoeuvred Mozilla into this situation are still there, and the folks who have no fault are let go instead.
Originally posted by Alexmitter View PostWhen they are at it, they could also scrap that toxic dictation of what its members and contributors are allowed to think and say in their private time. Mozilla is one of the worst offenders in restricting freedom of speech and opinion.Originally posted by treba View PostNo it's not. <- Equally valid opinion. Do you have any facts to support your claim?

I once proposed to Mozilla to offer more privacy focused services, like an email service i.e., where you pay a small fee and get a secure PIM based on open standards. I did this as a proposal ticket where just one person replied something like, wtf, why should Mozilla do that?! Sad...
