Mozilla is unhappy because the use of browser engines other than WebKit will be restricted to the EU, forcing them to develop two different apps.
For an independent browser like Firefox, managing two browsers is not easy, so it can be forgiven that this could be seen as almost harassment.
Also, the fact that the use of browser engines other than WebKit is limited to iOS means that the use of WebKit is still forced on iPadOS, which also increases the effort for Mozilla.
I do, haven’t seen any changes on anything yet. Apple is still popular, Nestlé is still fucking wealthy, our local billionaire/politician is most likely gonna win the next election (not Trump, I’m not from the US).
Me voting with my wallet has had exactly zero impact on anyone else but me and my immediate family.
So, maybe, just maybe, stop repeating this nonsense. Not enough people care for your or mine boycott to make a difference. And no, the answer isn’t another cool cliché like “educate them”. They don’t care and never will, most people just want stuff to be easy.
In conclusion, “vote with your wallet” is a stupid idea, it doesn’t change anything.
Apple is still popular. Nestle is still wealthy. But are you contributing to that wealth? Are you responsible?
Take responsibility for what you do, don’t concern yourself with what others are doing.
Support and spend good money on things that are worthwhile. Focus on growing those good things, not worrying about how other things are maybe bigger because of artificial and manipulated inflation.
The one delivering nonsense here is you. You’re incredibly pessimistic. I hope you find some happiness - even if that happens to be through buying Apple watches and Nestle chocolate milk.
I’m not pessimistic, just look around you. Most people choose the path of the least resistance and scummy companies weaponising psychology against us are happy to provide them.
