Now, a few weeks ago, Firefox has posted that controverse article about "de-platforming" people like Trump, now, I was reading the article, but it was a bit too complicated to understand, what's the problem with it and I was reading the comments on Twitter (which is never a good idea), where anyone was attacking Mozilla.

So, can anyone please explain, whats wrong with it? Thanks in advance!

Many people I know, liked and/or needed some features abandoned by Mozilla Firefox.

First, NPAPI support leaving it unsupported by a lot of websites here (government and education) which needed Java web plugin.

Second, full integrations with WebExtensions, with the abandonement for the old definitions using XUL framework (even JetPack which had a good level of security).

Third, how it runs on old platforms for which Electrolysis only add more resources usage to get better performance.

Last, some other good features as RSS and the possibility to add PWA from websites. The first in extensions is shit in Firefox but the available for Chromium are better.

Other cases, some people see and think that following Goolag way to implement and support standards not yet existing as a result of being part and participate in the creation of WHATWG.

As far as they see the news about Mozilla, they lose trust in Mozilla Firefox.
