It’s just a tool

I gather that Mozilla has named some marketing person as interim CEO as they search for a replacement who would be acceptableeffective.

I don’t care, really. Mozilla is an organization that provides support for Firefox, a tool I use. I’m using Firefox because it is the browser that irritates me the least at this time. I used Chrome previously, but stopped when yet another unexpected-and-suddenly-appearing design change made it marginally unusable.

I appreciate the hard working souls who work on the browsers and the specifications that form the basis for the technology implemented in the browsers—most of whom don’t work for Mozilla, or Google for that matter. Most of them don’t get paid for their work, either.

If anyone deserves passionate support, it’s the people who labor on the technology that goes into my browser. Anything else is just organizational politics benefiting some corporate entity.

In the meantime, I use Firefox. I don’t do so because of loyalty or because of some cause. It’s just a tool.
