Third time lucky? There have been 2 previous ports of real Firefox (with Gecko, an advanced engine), but this new one is taking place in an environment of regulatory requirements to end the #appleBrowserBan. Yay.

Mozilla is working on bringing Firefox 🦊 to iOS 🥂 Real @firefox with Gecko 🦎! Apple's over a decade long ban on competitive third party browsers has almost certainly cost Firefox significant market share and 100s of millions in lost revenue. theregister.com/2023/02/07/moz

FYI, #GoDaddy is affected by a massive hack that is randomly redirecting to bad sites. They confirmed it's happening all across their network and are supposedly "working on it". Recommend you contact support and reference Incident # INC-5492776 as proof of the issue. #BREAKING

Mobile tech is a duopoly run by two companies - Google and Apple - with a combined $3.5T market cap. Each uses a combination of tech, law, contract and market power to force sellers to do commerce via apps, and each extracts a *massive* commission in-app sales - 15-30%! 1/

London's Canary Wharf, a high-rise business district that is home to the UK Competition and Markets Authority. The colours of the buildings have been inverted, and the sky has been filled with a Matrix 'waterfall' graphic. In the foreground is an ogrish giant, standing at a console, yanking on a lever composed of a golden dollar-sign. The console is emblazoned with the logos for Chrome and Safari. The ogre is disdainfully holding aloft a mobile phone. On the phone's screen is a Gilded Age editorial cartoon of a business-man with a dollar-sign for a head. The phone itself is limned with a greenish supernova of radiating light.
