If you have the money to go in on a lawsuit solo, you have the money to retain a local lawyer and probably travel costs.

Otherwise, you’ll have to get a class action going which in that case, a local lawyer is still retained but the cost is spread out and for class actions only 1 person of the party needs to be present (if at all)

Wow reading through it certainly sounds like it’s the plaintiff law firm that’s being scummy, predatory and even funded by some VC company “Black Diamond”

I don’t quite see the point they’re making, I’m assuming by “massive arbitration lawsuit” they mean they’re being sued because of and to get rid of the arbitration clause?

I don’t see how it’s a win for them in either case tbh, maybe they’re trying to avoid having a precedent set is all that I can think of

“It’s TORTURE in that house, they give me JUST 3 MEALS AND 2 SNACKS A DAY!”

Sooo who wants to crowdfund an auction!

This is a 100% handmade meme by me lol

I actually did consider putting IE, but then I realized IE never went through enshittification it was just always shit lmao so it didn’t fit

I’m just following the warning signs, in the last year:

There’s the news of the opt-out only on tracking as you brought up. Then they fired one of their open source executives because he had the audacity to get cancer. Then they acquired an ad company because “we’re built different and we can fix her and totally not get corrupted by ads in the process”. Then the AI shit oh and ofc the news where they almost sucked Putin’s dick and pulled FF from being accessible in Russia for a day or 2

And a bunch of other stuff that I’m probably forgetting about. And that’s just within the last year.

Google and Chrome were great to! Until they weren’t. FF probably won’t ever actually die, not for a while at least. But the User and Privacy first aspects certainly will. They’ll probably succumb to enshittification and become like any other corporate browser like Chrome or Edge for years to come.

There’s also the news of them forcing opt-out only on tracking today or yesterday

Then there was the news that they fired one of their open source executives because he had the audacity to get cancer

Then the news that they (Mozilla) acquired an ad company because “we’re built different and we can fix her and totally not get corrupted by ads in the process”

Also the AI shit as commented

How’s life as a hurricane?

Ladybird! Though it’s not slated to be fully ready till 2026

Yea if nothing else hopefully it’ll at least point you in the right direction

Use Librewolf and Mull instead.

And keep an eye on the Ladybird browser, eventually FF forks will die should FF go full-tilt enshittification, but hopefully not till Ladybird is fully ready

Ladybird is a completely new open source browser with it’s own from scratch engine, so that’s one that hasn’t been forked from any other browser

Labybird is a completely new upcoming open source browser, complete with its own from scratch engine

Theres also Servo an open source engine led by the Linux Foundation

There’s always the Ladybird browser and an independent open source browser engine called Servo that’s under The Linux Foundation

This is just the beginnings of the enshittification of FF. There are others out there, Ladybird for example, deserves our attention being built completely from scratch engine and all. Though it’s not slated to become fully usable until 2026 because, they’re building the engine from scratch lol

Its a besties thing, I could easily be on either side of this convo with mine LMAO

IYKYK

Why not just hire cyber ninjas?

Because they require payment upfront lmao

Somebody forward this to Neil and get Netflix on the line
