If I weren't writing I think this would have ended my career. I am so sick of the destruction of the internet and the World Wide Web. It's not to be dismantled. It's to be built upon! FTP is still a valuable tool. Mozilla shame on you. zdnet.com/article/now-firefo…

I agree. It fragments it and makes things inaccessible to people who don't know how to find them.

I liked the Internet as a whole better when it was this new amazing democratic thing. Even if it wasn't all that new when I first got access to it (1998ish).

I can imagine it must be heartbreaking when it's something you were intimately involved in building. It's very sad to see just as a user. Especially the way huge companies now dominate evdrything. That's the opposite of what it was about.
