Topic: Today will be my last day using Mozilla Firefox or any Mozilla products... (Read 8124 times)

This changed my views on a lot of things. I changed my position on a Texas proposal to require more transparency in campaign contributions. I now believe that there is some serious merit to keeping contributions secret.

Just downloaded Chromium now, Lets see how good it is.

Or Chromium and Chromium OS Project?

Google chrome and tor should be the only browsers we use in this day and age. 

Purge the Bigot

Brendan Eich is just the beginning. Let’s oust everyone who donated to the campaign against gay marriage.






Some of my colleagues are celebrating. They call Eich a bigot who got what he deserved. I agree. But let’s not stop here. If we’re serious about enforcing the new standard, thousands of other employees who donated to the same anti-gay ballot measure must be punished.

More than 35,000 people gave money to the campaign for Proposition 8, the 2008 ballot measure that declared, “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.” You can download the entire list, via the Los Angeles Times, as a compressed spreadsheet. (Click the link that says, “Download CSV.”) Each row lists the donor’s employer. If you organize the data by company, you can add up the total number of donors and dollars that came from people associated with that company.

The first thing you’ll notice, if you search for Eich, is that he’s the only Mozilla employee who gave to the campaign for Prop 8. His $1,000 was more than canceled out by three Mozilla employees who donated to the other side.

The next thing you’ll notice is that other companies, including other tech firms, substantially outscored Mozilla in pro-Prop 8 contributions attributed to their employees. That includes Adobe, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Sun Microsystems, and Yahoo, as well as Disney, DreamWorks, Gap, and Warner Bros.

Thirty-seven companies in the database are linked to more than 1,300 employees who gave nearly $1 million in combined contributions to the campaign for Prop 8. Twenty-five tech companies are linked to 435 employees who gave more than $300,000. Many of these employees gave $1,000 apiece, if not more. Some, like Eich, are probably senior executives.

Why do these bigots still have jobs? Let’s go get them.

Right.  All you might want to do is deprive Mozilla from making money from you using their browser.

Switch the search engine to DuckGoGo and starve the gay fascist beast.

Mozilla also secured rather lucrative deals with google and other popular search engines, such that whenever firefox provides a default search through these engines they get paid for the traffic generated, with the transactions monitored by the Mozilla Corporation. These deals account for over 80% of Mozilla’s funds.

Almost the entirety of Mozilla’s income — 97% of $104 million — arrives in the form of royalties from the Firefox search box, and the lion’s share (86%, $85 million) of those royalties are paid by the default search engine: Google.

I don't understand why actually I should refuse from using Mozilla Firefox as it's truely the best Internet  browser !
As it was already mentioned   ' Some privacy or power-user plugins work better on Firefox.'

This issue is madness; I honestly think there are more important things we should be worried about in this world than what CEO of whatever browser thinks about this or that.  Gay activists aren't fighting for marriage equality, they're fighting for marriage rights, and for this I feel no allegiance toward their cause; they don't care about having the ability to decide whether they'll marry same sex or opposite sex, they care about having permission from government to do so.  They have no quarrel with democracy otherwise, which makes them hypocrites, which makes their cause inevitably pointless as there can never be a majority vote on gay rights because there will never be a majority of gays in this world (assuming heterosexual/homosexual ratios remain as they are), there can only be a majority vote of agreeing not to use democracy against gays which makes democracy a pointless exercise in this respect as this vote occurs only in the minds and hearts of individuals.  You would think the LGBT crowd would understand this better than anyone but, nobody ever said politics was a rational sport.

Anyway, I think this will blow over and be forgotten by most people within a month.  Chik-fil-a is still around, after all.

"Saving his butt"? He was never going to be a target from the pink mafia. Ever.

Nice one Wilkon also article Update a bit after you posted basically saving his butt. A legitimate enough reason with hundreds of issues on the table knowing where a candidate stands on every single one would be difficult.

Update April 8, 2014, 12:30 p.m. PDT: OkCupid CEO Sam Yagan provided a statement to the SF Chronicle this morning clarifying the intentions behind his donation to Cannon and his stance on gay rights. Here it is in full:

A decade ago, I made a contribution to Representative Chris Cannon because he was the ranking Republican on the House subcommittee that oversaw the Internet and Intellectual Property, matters important to my business and our industry. I accept responsibility for not knowing where he stood on gay rights in particular; I unequivocally support marriage equality and I would not make that contribution again today.  However, a contribution made to a candidate with views on hundreds of issues has no equivalence to a contribution supporting Prop. 8, a single issue that has no purpose other than to affirmatively prohibit gay marriage, which I believe is a basic civil right.
