General Discussion • Re: Pale Moon's PR Problem
Back to new users: Honesty is essential. Attracting new users then disappointing them must be avoided at all costs. Create a brand new, prominent page/section in the home page. Make a link in the installer: "If you new, make sure to read this first". Make sure they read it.
This page should serve as:
A) An Online Status/Monitor of a bunch of mainstream, corp-websites that do not work as expected (or at all). Example: YouTube is currently slow because x. Discord/Slack/Teams etc. do not work because WebRTC. And so on.
B) A clear, honest explanation on why each of these websites does not work as expected. Brief, simple, unapologetic. Make sure the user understands what is beyond your/our/their control and what isn't.
C) Provide direct contact information for each offending website/service, so the users may quickly complain where it is needed.
Furthermore: this page should also include wide-reaching offenders that may or may not fall into the mainstream / "mega-corp" category. Services that affect many websites: Discourse, Disqus, Wix (I seem to remember Wix is a problem, not 100% sure) and so on.
In principle, I like the idea. Links could also be included where there are workarounds / associated extensions to try (e.g. for YouTube).
