General Discussion • Re: Firefox 149 bundles content-blocking engine adblock-rust

Of fucking course it's a Rust based thing. The writing is in the wall, Mozilla, nobody wants Rust.

If people are smart, yeah.

That's my concern though... what if people are getting dumber...

If firefox implements v2, I hope firefox will get forked by a large group of devs so that things will be done right or even go back to original structure.

Would that be v2 of Rust?

Either way, Mozilla more or less gave up control of Rust to google.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(pro ... Foundation

"It was established on February 8, 2021, with five founding corporate members (Amazon Web Services (Silk chromium), Huawei (Huawei chromium), Google (OG chromium & chrome), Microsoft (Edge chromium), and Mozilla [chromium-lite1])."

1: webextensions, geolocation, webrtc, widewine, safe browsing, V8 shim layer, search deal, etc, and now rust adblock. All from google.
