Twitterage and quotage. [quotage]

I have now not only uninstalled mozilla, but have some outcomes to report.

Firstly, almost every modern mail app works well with google mail and the common mailhosts. Naturally, I have to connect to two fairly odd places; one is my webhost for all my personal mail, and the other is the university. I have managed to get both working securely — requiring some modification so that IMAP ran via SSL on both machines, and sending mail does not.

Geany is a little less friendly, but works, and is fast, and does most of a good job. It is now recommended over claws mail.

And chrome is very, very good. So is opera. The surprise is how good epiphany has become — it is faster than both, and rock stable. I recommend chrome and epiphany — and Opera as a backup for sites that are picky, if you don’t mind closed source.

Finally, if you visit using firefox, there is now a nice script that points you at a stop firefox website, but does not block your visit.

The final solution will always be for businesses to avoid taking political stands. Even alienating 30% of the population because of politics just kills the bottom line.
You could try to blame the Mozilla CEO for stuff before he was hired, but the Mozilla Board were the ones who elevated politics and now have essentially killed the company.

    I switched to Pale Moon. It works well, but shows up as FF to websites.

      There are some browsers like that, including iceowl in Debian systems. You may be able to change how the browser is IDed in Preferences. And it is another reason not to just block firefox.
