The current incarnation of Mozilla would not be any meaningful loss to me.

There is exactly no single reason to make this personal. What I meant is that writing a free piece of software does not necessarily have to be paid work. A variety of popular software tools, including a few web browsers, by the way, is written and maintained in the developers’ free time.

“Doing stuff” is not the same thing as “doing paid work”.

Opt-out can never be the right answer.

(and deserve it)

Please enlighten me: how do they deserve to be paid for a non-profit product?

Being a developer myself (with no ads in his software), I don’t think you understand my point. The software I write in my free time does not pay my bills. That’s why I also have an actual job.

What makes you think that developing a free web browser needs to grant anyone any income?

Mozilla actually has (had?) ads in Firefox, right on its default start page.

So? Is anyone who can’t afford one legally obliged to have a website?

Why do you think a web browser needs to make money?

So is NetSurf, and has been for most of this century already. I mean, it's great to see people even caring about independent browsers, but NetSurf surely needs much more love (and more developers). :-)

I wish that most forks wouldn't be even worse. Pale Moon, the most interesting one, is a gang of patent trolls.

Creators and journalists need money to survive, and currently, ad-supported viewing is necessary for that to happen.

The only way out of this is to block advertising. I, personally, think that you should not have a website if you can't pay for it yourself, but the only acceptable kind of website income is a paywall. If you just have "better advertising", advertising will never go away. And I hate ads.

Deutschland hat dort einen völkerrechtswidrigen Angriffskrieg geführt. Das war nicht der Krieg der Deutschen, das ist ein Unterschied.

Zu der Frage, wie verblendet Völkerrechtler, die (wie übrigens auch Gerhard Schröder selbst) das als völkerrechtswidrig bezeichnen, sind, bin ich der falsche Ansprechpartner.

Die weltweit letzten zwei SPD-Wähler haben runtergewählt, nehme ich zur Kenntnis.

Nicht zu vergessen: der erste völkerrechtswidrige Angriffskrieg in der EU wurde 1999 von SPD und Grünen beschlossen.

Nancy Faeser ist bei der CDU?

Allgemein immer eine gute Idee, keine Mechanismen zu installieren, über die sich eine extremistische Regierung freuen würde.

Tschüss CSU

Ist die Umfrage auch irgendwo zu finden? Ich wüsste gern, wie die Zahlen bei den anderen Parteien aussehen.
