The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

Does anyone know of a decent browser that syncs between Android and Windows versions that isn't Firefox based? Mobile Firefox's UX is not my cup of tea

Old guy, here...

WTF is a "glowie"?

[–] LupertEverett@lemmy.world 21 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It comes from Terry A. Davis's description of CIA, FBI and the like: "They glow in the dark"

That statements is actually infused with some racial epithets.

The CIA relation is racist? Or the fact the chanoids added the n word at the end?

That's a damn shame. Any other browsers look good on a tablet?

I think Waterfox looks pretty great and works well for me. Not sure how different it is from Firefox Mobile itself since I switched from Chrome to Waterfox directly, but assume Firefox probably looks pretty similar.

Brave has always seemed shady to me. I mean it has built in crypto spam.

Good thing I quit brave a few years ago when they did that Crypto shit.

[–] nectar45@lemmy.zip 4 points 12 hours ago

Of course they did...

Someone's been munching Elon's Special K for breakfast. New marketing tagline just dropped tho:

Brave browser, because you'd have to be brave to use a browser built by a Nazi

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 19 points 18 hours ago

How about just:

Brave: We're not!

As a reminder, Eich was turfed from Mozilla for joining an anti-LGBT hate campaign (and thus alienating a whole lot of developers, sponsors, and users); and his So Brave browser pushed NFTs and stole money via referral fraud.
