schestowitzI get some flak today for my remarks about FirefoxOct 27 20:31
schestowitz"when you take $ from MS they will always try to demand more Influence or they cut their funds.They will corrupt Mozilla. " http://joindiaspora.com/posts/682577Oct 27 20:32
TechrightsBot@: Oct 27 20:32
schestowitzThe financial dependence on Microsoft, for example, is more troubling than on Google (GSoC).Oct 27 20:32
schestowitz"Mozilla should select their default search engine by good randomness"Oct 27 20:33
schestowitzSorry, thought you used chrome.https://joindiaspora.com/posts/682577  Oct 27 20:33

schestowitzChrome is a search bar (ads)with a browser 'around' itOct 27 20:33
MinceRisn't it better if they depend on multiple sources?Oct 27 20:34
schestowitzwho, FF?Oct 27 20:50
schestowitzIIRC, mandriva used konq to refer to ask or somethingOct 27 20:50
MinceRMozillaOct 27 20:53
schestowitzahOct 27 21:01
schestowitzwell... good questionOct 27 21:01
schestowitzIMHO, Mozilla could make its own meta-searchOct 27 21:01
schestowitzand label it approppriatelyOct 27 21:02
schestowitzBut it would not get the Google kickbacksOct 27 21:02
MinceRbrowser-side metasearch?Oct 27 21:02
schestowitzIIRC, Mozilla depended on that money heavilyOct 27 21:02
MinceRi think so tooOct 27 21:02
schestowitzGoogle gave them a wad of cash around the very same Chrome was announcedOct 27 21:02
schestowitzas a way of perhaps saying, " we make our own browser, but worry not, we won't leave you to rot"Oct 27 21:02
schestowitzMinceR: IIRC:Oct 27 21:03
schestowitzFrom that timeOct 27 21:03
schestowitzThe Lizard wrangler tingie..Oct 27 21:03
schestowitzShe said they did not depend on GoogleOct 27 21:03
schestowitzAnd emphasised thisOct 27 21:03
MinceRicOct 27 21:03
schestowitzBut the statement is publicOct 27 21:03
schestowitzThey are a foundation or some kindOct 27 21:03
MinceRwhat do they depend on, then?Oct 27 21:03
schestowitzSo they showed like IIRC... 70% of their revenue coming from GoogleOct 27 21:03
schestowitzAnd I didn't hear much about Google paying them sinceOct 27 21:03
schestowitzAnd many high--prized mozilla employees leftOct 27 21:04
schestowitzMinceR: the search thingOct 27 21:04
schestowitzThat by default it links to Google, in the address bar tooOct 27 21:04
schestowitzThey got millions this wayOct 27 21:04
schestowitzOne million a yera can pay 20 people's wagesOct 27 21:04
schestowitzI think Mozilla is less than 100 peopleOct 27 21:04
schestowitzAnd IIRC from office footage I saw the core team is a few dozensOct 27 21:05
schestowitzI think their turnogver/income was somewhere around $5Oct 27 21:05

schestowitzLinux advocateOct 27 21:13
schestowitzTrying to help the caUse :-)Oct 27 21:13
schestowitzReal proponents of GNU/Linux oughtn't help Microsoft's recommended version of GNU/Linux, which is also taxed by Microsoft. There are many projects more worthy of volunteer effort. These projects are not coordiated by people's on Microsoft payroll, either (indirectly).Oct 27 21:54
