COMPTE ABANDONNÉ (Pas la peine de me suivre, je suis parti ailleurs. Bien à toi, visiteur/visiteuse.)

    • Firefox 22 is released, just in time to become the default browser in Ubuntu 13.10. The release contains many performance improvements and one big, major feature : a built-in version of adblock enabled by default.

      chiche !

    • OK, mais :

      In July, Ars Technica revealed that there was a major disagreement between Mozilla and Google. The search giant decided to stop funding Firefox, because of Chrome’s success and defending Chromium as the preferred alternative.

      Après avoir touché des millions de dollars parce qu’il faisait tourner les publicités de Google (moteur par défaut), Mozilla se découvre une conscience du Web au motif que Google lui aurait coupé les fonds ? Pfiou.

      On parle gros bizness qui tâche, là, pas de gentils barbus du libre :

      The foundation has an ongoing deal with Google to make Google search the default in the Firefox browser search bar and hence send it search referrals; a Firefox themed Google search site has also been made the default home page of Firefox. The original contract expired in November 2006, however Google renewed the contract until November 2008 and again through 2011. On 20 December 2011 Mozilla announced that the contract was once again renewed for at least three years to November 2014, at three times the amount previously paid, or nearly US$300 million annually. Approximately 85% of Mozilla’s revenue for 2006 was derived from this contract.

      Sinon chez moi, Firefox c’est 17% du traffic, pas 30%.
