@revengeday Maybe if @mozilla spent less resources on marketing stunts and managers' payroll and more on developing and networking with users and companies, now Firefox would be somewhere higher than owning the 2% of browsers' marketshare.
Surely I'm not that qualified, but here we are. @aral

@aral Love it when activists apparently need the help of a branding powerhouse that has worked with... Paramount and Uber (to name but a few).

Maybe if you didn't fuck up the so-called "vision" you claimed to have had (but, idk, probably didn't)... You wouldn't really need to rebrand yourself. Hmm.

@nomadbynature Just a regular mushroom, minding its own business, being a mushroom.

@aral Mozilla is a company seemingly specializing in rebrands ...

@aral Also: that rebrand is a disaster, "moz://a" was genius

@aral I feel like the other shoe has dropped, having switched to advertising data enabled by default a few months ago.

I haven't seen a better solution out there though so hope that patience will pay off and this 'fever' will pass.

@aral sure, you have a cool activist organization, but did it have branding on it's ass by a global branding powerhouse with a three-names name?

@aral Typical waste of resources. I hope they made a Mozilla font in the package.

@aral I guess the browser is now known as 13 Firefox.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al You'd be amazed how many people still defend Mozilla and their bullshittery 😕

@aral A rich corporation making money off of advertisement trying to sell itself as activists? So cringe.
