Sometimes you really have to stop and ask yourself what the fuck is going on at Mozilla's HQ. It's insane how they manage to shoot themselves in the foot at least once a week.

Given the historical record on attempts at Mercosur-EU trade deals, this is likely to fail yet again, since the EU's agricultural voting bloc (mostly in France and Italy) doesn't really want the market to be populated by cheaper products from abroad (at least not any more than it already is). But at this point, given the several ongoing food crises that Russia's invasion of Ukraine caused, the chances for a successful agreement are about as high as they can go, so they might as well go for it.

Fighting the uphill battle yet again. And yet again, this is gonna fail because many, if not most websites will either ignore it completely or find a workaround to keep selling your data. After all, what are they gonna do, sue every company that does this? Not to mention that Do Not Track is already a thing, and it doesn't work because any site that relies on ads for money isn't gonna stop tracking you just because you asked nicely, and the ones that do are already more respecting of user privacy anyway.

Isn't the entire point of the Rome Statute that the country accepts the court's jurisdiction involving international crimes and crimes against humanity as higher than that of any national court? I'm not an expert, but I imagine this defeats the point of signing the statute in the first place.

To be fair, I'd be absolutely vibing in a room like this. Probably wouldn't help a panic attack though.

Lula's always been pretty good with calling out other people's bullshit around Latin America, it isn't particularly surprising that he'd do that (and the same applies to Biden). Shame that he doesn't have the courage to do the same with Russia though, even if that's more because Russia has held Brazil's agricultural market by the balls for a while now.

I don't really see the problem as long as they're still working because they enjoy doing it, rather than being forced to do it to survive.

If they aren't funding Mozilla, which is a far more significant company with a long history of browser development, the chances they're gonna fund a brand-new browser that very few people have even heard about is next to none.

That's true, but sometimes I definitely need a little push from someone in situations like this.

Nah, some people just really suck at being assertive (and/or have really bad social anxiety).

I really don't see how supporting Manifest V3 is a problem. It's still going to be used by many extension developers, and there's no harm in its availability as long as you can still block WebRequest, which is currently the case. On the Mozilla taking Google's money point, sure, that's true, but it doesn't seem to have affected too much of the browser, other than search defaults abd a few other things that can be very easily turned off or removed entirely. I wouldn't say the chances are particularly high for Manifest V2 to be completely removed, personally.
