I Guess It Is Time To Get Rid Of Mozilla's FireFox's Browser: In case you have not heard, on August 8 Mozilla announced that the company was implementing an "Information Trust...

In case you have not heard, on August 8 Mozilla announced that the company was implementing an "Information Trust Initiative (MITI)—a comprehensive effort to keep the Internet credible and healthy. Well, what exactly does that mean?

According to the company, "Mozilla is developing products, research, and communities to battle information pollution and so-called ‘f**e news’ online. And we’re seeking partners and allies to help us do so."

Their announcement goes on to say, "The spread of misinformation violates nearly every tenet of the Mozilla Manifesto, our guiding doctrine."

Mozilla Information Trust Initiative will focus on four areas:

PRODUCT - "to develop technology that combats misinformation."

LITERACY - "to educate and empower Internet users, as well as those leading innovative literacy initiatives. Mozilla will develop a web literacy curriculum that addresses misinformation."

RESEARCH - "Later this year, Mozilla will be releasing original research on how misinformation impacts users’ experiences online. We will be drawing on a dataset of user-level browsing data gathered during the 2016 U.S. e******ns."

CREATIVE INTERVENTIONS - "Mozilla will field and fund pitches from technologists who are combatting misinformation using various mediums, including virtual reality and augmented reality."

In my way of thinking, Mozilla believes that you and I are unable to judge for ourselves, "Real News" from "F**e News". So Mozilla will be undertaking efforts to make those decisions for us, for our own benefit. When I read about Mozilla's initiative, I recall the analogy of a glass being either "half full", or "half empty". Anyone, or any organization can take a disparate set of facts, and make a case either one way, or another.

No one, or no entity, is perfect and always right. It is the obligation and responsibility of each and every one of us to make our own judgements about what is going on in the world around us. I don't want Mozilla, or any other media entity spoon feeding me information "as they see it". Yes, misinformation exists. It is a fact of live. So is death and disease, but that is part of living our own lives, and using our god given intelligence to the best of our ability to see through "misinformation" from any source.

I said good by to Firefox about 3yrs ago, no regrets. Give "Brave Browser" a try.

Don't upgrade; I'm usin FF51 and an old version of pale moon 26 locked down, using all the 100's of config settings to my advantage, all the google, chrome and all the hazardous phone home tracking scripts are stripped out k**lin the parrot.
the parrot is dead, once again, the parrot is dead.

also want to add after Ff52 the fork in the road went off in the wrong direction. And without giving up to much
info here, the six most important legacy ext's will continue to work great no matter what the pinheads say.
In fact they work at least 2-X better than the new ones...i've said it here before it takes at least 40 hrs of labor
to lock down a computer from scratch, after that it's just a matter of copying the HD and moving it to another
linux o.s. I trained an investigator to do it and he runs my E.TX satellite sales n' repair shop. I don't have time to do it here at the lot anymore

Have any of you guys tried the new TraceFree Browser? It was just released for Windows a couple of days ago. The Mac version is not out yet.
https://www.tracefree.com

I had checked it out before and just double checked it...from the site tracefree.com my script blocker is blocking both
tracefree and static.parastorage.com...so it throws up an initial red f**g for me since parastorage is hosted by
amazon technologies inc....we all know beelzebub's amazon host's the see'eye'aye cloud services.

But, without seeing whats under the hood of the payed service I can't 100% be certain...trace may be using another
cloud service for it's payed service like maybe 'Wix'? Than again why would a startup co. want the extra expense of
2 cloud service's...just asking out loud

I'm content with not using any cloud services, as I stay v***s free without any anti malware or anti v***s software
