Did Mozilla Finally Get the Hint? We had raked Mozilla over the coals for its shockingly poor marketing job on its sites. Not only was the messaging all over the place, it was challenging to find even a satisfactory mention of their core product—y’know, the one we all think of: Firefox.

Our in-depth review of the @npub19rt0...adh9 web browser is here, featuring a conversation with @npub1duhg...4el7 about its many customization features for power users and promoting the open social web.
