      Ironic how the typo directly inverted the meaning.

      will not adopt = will not use the new Firefox terms

      will not adapt = will use the new Firefox terms exactly, without any rewording

    Well, IIRC, TB isn’t developed by Mozilla. They just “host” it.

      They do. Well, I should say Thunderbird is also under the Foundation, but is developed by a separate subsidiary Corp (MZLA Tech Corp) than Firefox (Mozilla Corp).

      Which is one more stupid thing from Mozilla. Imagine if, 10 years ago, they had made a combo of: Firefox, Thunderbird, email hosting, maybe some kind of online office thing and a drive, Sync… That could have been the ultimate productivity package for “Office” stuff inside one convenient subscription.

      Instead we now have Office 365, Google Docs, and nothing more.

        I want separate apps that are really good at what they do, not a bunch of apps that kinda work together and are just okay. So I would much rather they focus on one thing and services around it. Such as:

        • online payments - make a way for me to compensate sites in lieu of ads
        • secure storage - bookmarks, files, notes, all from the browser; or self host
        • VPN integrated into the browser - exists

        Everything should be opt-in and privacy centered, and all of that can be browser extensions.

        Don’t give them subscription ideas, even mentioning subscriptions is dangerous!
