Mission statement
LIBREZILLA - MISSION STATEMENT
The project aims to create a *really* free fork of Mozilla software, like Firefox and Thunderbird,
taking the needs of users, operators and distro maintainers seriously, and get rid of anything
that engangers freedom and privacy/security, like Despostic Restriction Management and Spyware
("SaferWeb" that sends pivate data to google, position and movement tracking by websites, etc).
In contrast to Mozilla - a frontend organisation of Google and Netflix - Librezilla does NOT
serve corporate interests. Important technology, like Browsers, do not belong into the hands
of mega-corporations. We, the people, should be deserve, and demand control.
WHY FORK ?
Mozilla's employees have made it clear many times, that they serve an corporate interests.
Neither do they have any real interest in any serious community contributions, nor do they
tolerate any critics. Their reactions range from selective censorship, to banning critics
from their communication platforms (facebook, mailing lists, etc) to personal threats.
It is clear that none of the serious security and freedom fixes from our side, eg. deactive
Despotic Restriction Management (DRM) or spying on users, will ever be accepted by Mozilla.
These things are weapons agains us, the users, they will never give away voluntarily.
