Firefox Mozilla joins Google in blocking sites
« on: November 08, 2018, 07:31:29 PM »
An alternative is to install Brave. Otherwise, alternative websites are being banned by Firefox Mozilla.

I would like to do this, but I am not computer savvy.



This is what I see at the bottom of my screen. I want to reject Firefox.

Waterfox might be a better bet over Brave. It's what I use. I'm not a computer whiz, so who knows. Probably the safest thing is to not be hooked to the grid at all.

Subject: Firefox Mozilla joins Google in blocking sites

Mozilla joining the manifestly evil Google would be a matter of great concern & disappointment to me, but your posting provides no evidence whatsoever for the claim made by your ‘Subject:’.

What "my screen"?   When doing what?

The page at the link you provided does not even mention Google.  Please don't make important & distressing claims in Internet discussion forums for which you fail to provide obvious evidence.  It's your claim, so it's your responsibility to provide such evidence.  It's not the responsibility of your readers to load multiple Web pages (i.e., as linked from the 1 page to which you did link) to track down--or guess--whatever could possibly have motivated you to make your thus-far unsupported claim.

It wouldn't shock me if Firefox did such a thing, so I didn't bother to verify.

The co-founder of Mozilla, Brendan Eich, resigned some years back because the board was incensed with his support of anti-fag legislation. He's now the developer of the Brave browser.

Where is the proof for this?
