Robert KingettAt this point, Mozilla is a parody of itself. Here's an idea. Quit trying to revolutionize the internet and just make a goddamn browser.<a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/building-whats-next/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/building-whats-next/</a><a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mozilla</a>

Robert KingettAt this point, I really can't tell if Mozilla hates the web or hates publishers more. This is pitched as a good thing for users, but this will also, well, hurt indieweb folk too!Even though this is pitched as a win for users, I think Mozilla is trying to be Google. They see what they are doing and are like aw shucks! You mean we could have been this web hostile all along?Just another thing to add to their anti-web practices they've been doing lately.I utterly despise Engadget as a publication, but,excerpt. Mozilla's Firefox has joined Chrome, Edge and other browsers in offering AI-powered overviews, but this time with a twist. The latest version lets you use a keyboard shortcut to open a pop-up that previews a link's contents when you hover over it from any web page. It's a new way that AI is being integrated into browsers that may help users but hurt publishers.*sigh* hey Engadget, it makes up text, so it automatically is broken and not useful to users.If this were a standard link preview feature? I'd be fine with it, but it scrapes and extracts texts. Also, fucking Hugging Face.

Jason Bowen 🇺🇦So, Fedi distributed brain, what are people settling on for Pocket replacements?I've put my self in an awkward position, but one that's been very smooth for me for several years. I use Feedly to scroll RSS feeds, and *had* perfect integration to save things to Pocket.I'm going to have to look both at RSS aggregators and "read it later" apps to see where I want to go, but definitely a self-hosted FLOSS solution.<a href="https://mast.hpc.social/tags/pocket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pocket</a> <a href="https://mast.hpc.social/tags/readitlater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#readitlater</a> <a href="https://mast.hpc.social/tags/rss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rss</a> <a href="https://mast.hpc.social/tags/atom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#atom</a> <a href="https://mast.hpc.social/tags/news" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#news</a> <a href="https://mast.hpc.social/tags/mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mozilla</a> <a href="https://mast.hpc.social/tags/feedly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feedly</a> <a href="https://mast.hpc.social/tags/wallabag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wallabag</a>

Ned YeungUgh, I wish Mozilla would stop rearranging my tabs!Yes, I know how to turn it off (browser.tabs.groups.enabled in about:config), but my work Macbook is managed by IT and the setting I choose always reverts back.When I open a tab in one place, I shouldn't have to search my list of tabs for at least 5 seconds just to find that tab again, or wind up in some completely random tab every time I click on where the tab I wanted was last opened.This should never have been a thing.<a href="https://beige.party/tags/mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mozilla</a>

Kevin Rose—who founded Digg.com, became a venture capitalist, and is now trying to bring Digg back—has petitioned Mozilla to let Digg take over Pocket.”<a href="https://rbfirehose.com/2025/05/28/pc-world-digg-founder-pitches-mozilla-to-save-pocket/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rbfirehose.com/2025/05/28/pc-world-digg-founder-pitches-mozilla-to-save-pocket/</a>
