Firefox stands for the web of open standards: it’s good that the browser exists. However, it is slipping into insignificance.

A healthy browser ecosystem needs diversity so that one day one company cannot dictate to everyone how they should use the internet. We’ve been through this before, and it didn’t go well. On that note: Happy birthday, Firefox, may you have many more birthdays!

Installed Firefox back in 2006 and used ever since. Great browser.

No way, Firefox released the same day as Halo2 ? What a blessed day it was

IIRC I downloaded Firefox 1.0.4 way back in the day, and kept using it until somewhere around version 6 or 7. Moved away when they started copying Chrome on everything. Rapid-release inflation was the last straw.

This article immediately had me searching in confusion over whether the logo is a fox or meant to be a panda! What is your logo? Fox or red panda?

Confusingly both. The name is from the red panda, but the icon is absolutely a fox!

People did this to themselves.

Unless we see some kind of regulation, today’s big tech is tomorrow’s big brother.
