#Mozilla Clarifies on #DataCollection: #FirefoxLabs to Not Require #Telemetry or Studies in Future #Updates
quippd.com/writing/2025/06/18/
Article by @quippd on Youssuff Quips
“I’m glad that Mozilla came to the same conclusion I did — that Labs features shouldn’t be locked behind data collection.”

Me too! Although I don't personally use #Firefox, I can say that it's not good if #Chromium becomes the only #browserEngine. Monopolising is not a good thing, and this seems to be even truer in #technology.

I am renaming my web browser engine to Phenyl. The current name MoeNavigatorEngine suggests that is is tied to or dependent on the MoeNavigator browser, but instead it is an independent software library.

Phenyl is the name of a ring of carbon and hydrogen atoms in organic chemistry. Phenyl rings are parts of different organic molecules. A browser engine can be seen as a part of many different programs that interact with servers.

This renaming is also a good opportunity to put all classes in the same namespace and remove old files that aren't necessary anymore.

The browser engine and its documentation is available on Codeberg: codeberg.org/moenavigator/moen

The renaming is done in the "rename-phenyl" branch.

Yes! Mal wieder Lebenszeichen von der Rust Browser-Engine. Die moderne Alternative zu Chromium (aka Google Chrome) ist längst überfällig.
