I think it’s neat especially next to the new thunderbird logo. IMHO it still has character and is not oversimplified.
My favorite is the last one. Not the one on the left, but this one:
I miss that tiny paw.
I love Firefox’s new logo…
That’s not it. Mozilla has ruined firefox. They have added spyware and made google the default engine. Most of their profits go to shady places, etc
They need money somehow, making Google the default search engine is a source of income.
It keeps Google from anti-competitive lawsuits. So it’s mutually beneficial, although the first thing you should do is change your search engine to a more private one.
If you are paying people to compete with you, you need some anticompetitive lawsuits.
You can always make startpage or ddg your default search engine anyways, both on android and desktop
Takes a couple of seconds to change the default engine, turn off the gnarlier of the telemetry, and disable the sponsored stuff in the new tab page. Infinitely better than any other mainstream browser
Infinitely better than any other mainstream browser
Not really a high bar
Duckduckgo proxies bing search results (ober the api, they aren’t chad scrapers) and is therefore is under the foot of microsoft. This has forced them to whitelist ms trackers in their privacy tools but I haven’t heard anything bad about the search engine.
Startpage scrapes google results so isn’t under anyones foot. It has had some controversy due to being bought by an ad company but they haven’t seemed to do anything bad yet
In all, startpage is better than duckduckgo
Googles been the default engine since the Netscape Websuite days. I don’t always love what Mozilla does with their browser, but they do an excellent job of balancing “the web should be easy to use,” “the web should be humane,” and “the web should be what you want it to be.”
If you want to say Mozilla sucks, that’s fine, go ahead, just be ready for that any other browser Dev group is either worse or dependent on being downstream of Firefox to do what they do
They have added spyware
Uh, yeah; gonna need a source on this. You’re allowed to not like that they made Google the default search engine, but this statement is straight up-misinformation.
I can’t rember my source so take this with a grain of salt but your browser still connects to telemetry.mozilla.org even when telemetry is turned off and you need to use something like arkenfox or install a fork like librewolf to fully disable. I discovered this after going through a rabbithole when pihole said it blocked telemetry.mozilla.org even when I disabled telemetry
I have found this support page on the matter
They also have no rule against spyware (or at least proprietary software) on addons.mozilla.org
Ah, much better
Every day we stray further from god
To be fair, he’s been an absent father for centuries, so it’s not our fault.
You mean we stray further from a god. God isn’t a proper noun so it must be prefixed by a determiner.
God isn’t a proper noun
You seem so confident for someone who is wrong
Have you ever heard of a religion (actually a group of religions) called Christianity? They call their god simply God, and they’re pretty far spread along the world.
The original Firefox (originally called Firebird) logo be like:
Oh, hence Thunderbird.
…Wait, where are Waterbird and Landbird ? Are they safe ? Are they alright ?
“What happened to me? People care more about polished functionality than their privacy, and are willing to trade privacy for something that steals all their data as long as it is “faster,” even though I’m arguably faster than Chrome at this point…”
Most regular ass people don’t give one flying fuck about being owned by corporations, they’re happy to get reamed by companies that don’t give a shit if they live or die.
I’m sure quite a few people can agree that we do not like the oversimplifying of logos. I know I sure as hell don’t. The old logo was so much better looking if you ask me.

The old logo is too busy and doesn’t look like fire. Ngl I like the new one, it feels like the fire is cradling the earth.
Rip cheems
2004-2009 were the golden years… Although I’d gladly use it if it had the 2002 logo my reference
Nah, I like the new logo.
