My gripes with the switch paradigm are that it: a) isn't transparent b) doesn't empower the user c) isn't easily modifiable a), b) and c) are the exact opposites of what open source software is meant to stand for. Firefox is slowly losing its unique position of being an amazing open source browser in favor of what seems to me a negligible increase in user security. In my mind, Mozilla is wasting time on micromanaging user risk instead of actually innovating. To put it this way, every time I go out biking, I can get hit by a car. It is a known and well understood risk, one that I have to consider whenever making a turn. However, riding a bike also provides chances to go faster, meet new people and so on. Should Firefox aim to reduce my risk of being hit by a car? No, because I get to choose the level of risk in my life, not Mozilla. |
