What an shitty article. It is looking on the revenue, ceo income and market share of only 2 years and trys to make a point.
What methods are being used to measure browser market share? Are those methods inclusive of Firefox users utilizing privacy-forward tools and ad blockers? If not, then Firefox market share may not necessarily be dwindling.
Then again, if Mozilla’s revenue stream is aligned with the world of advertising, Firefox users who strive to make themselves invisible to advertisers are being written-off outright by Mozilla. The population of browser market share is only counting those who advertisers can influence - nobody else matters.
I stopped at Lunduke. No thanks.
Fuck noted racist Bryan Lunduke.
noted racist
How is he a racist? If he’s a noted racist. That must mean there’s a ton of proof you can link to, right.
He announced to be against BLM. He claimed that protesting police brutality against black people equates to racism against whites. There’s tons of that on the internet, you can google for it yourself. Your lack of basic web search skills is not my problem.
I’m also against BLM, but I agree with BLM that policing needs a lot of reforms. My solutions are just really different from what they propose, such as:
- end qualified immunity - cops that commit crimes should be treated like any other criminal
- increase funding for police - the current pay structure and expectations attract power-hungry people, we should adjust both
- end civil asset forfeiture
- legalize marijuana and decriminalize victimless crimes like drug possession - if there’s no victim, there’s no crime (and you can’t victimize yourself)
- split police into armed and unarmed groups - armed police should not be on the regular police beat, only as backup
And so on.
BLM wants to strip the police of their teeth, I want to put a leash on the police and remove the feral officers.
Maybe that’s different from what Lunduke means, IDK, I don’t follow the guy. But just saying “doesn’t support BLM” is not the same as “is racist.” Some of my best friends are POC (including my wife), so it’s entirely possible to want what’s best for them while disagreeing with BLM.
He announced to be against BLM.

You’re making the claim. So it’s up you to have the proof and to prove you’re not BSing.
I’m so out of the loop here. Never heard of him before. A quick web search yielded little. But his seemingly-abandoned Twitter profile is…something. https://nitter.net/bryanlunduke
I used to say controversial things that I don’t really believe to try and get attention. Now I’ve changed. Black Lives Matter. He / Him
🤷
What’s his deal?
Oh he’s very active: conservativenerds.locals.com
He was one of the founding members of Jupiter Broadcasting. Was heavily involved in openSUSE for a long time (maybe even on the board?) and did a lot of Linux journalism. If you’ve ever seen the annual tongue in cheek “Linux sucks” video, that is him.
It’s a huge shame. He’s very charismatic and likeable otherwise, I just wish he also wasn’t carrying around awful opinions about so many other people.
Oh no, he’s conservative. Being a conservative itself is not a bad thing.
We, the community, really need to make a separate browser project. It’s clear that Mozilla doesn’t care about competing with chrome/chromium. They just want to be in the market to get that sweet google money so that google can’t be sued for being a monopoly by funding a “competitor”.
I think Mozilla the company needs to be rethought
