Finally! No more "You know, you should really get Firefox, it's super easy. First you need to go to this other website though. Yes, I know, I know. Just trust me, okay?"
It includes older people because Mozilla had previous work before Firefox, so they heard that name first. I've never heard anyone my age (27) or younger call it that, including non-technical people who somehow still have a nostalgic and/or ideological affinity for Firefox.
When the Mozilla foundation took over the Netscape codebase, it was initially called Mozilla, or Mozilla Browser. There was also a Mozilla email client that came from Netscape Communicator.
Then they made a trimmed-down version of the browser with only essential features. That was initially called Phoenix, then Firebird, then Firefox. They did the same with the email client and called it Thunderbird. These existed alongside Mozilla Browser for a while until it was discontinued.
Yeah, again, probably because tech-literate (not tech-illiterate) people are more likely to know the history of the organization beyond when they started using the software. My point was pretty much that the know-nothing user learning about the software today/recently knows it's called Firefox and might never have heard of Mozilla. The branding is clear about Firefox and the Mozilla name is essentially background knowledge.
I know you're making a joke, but I enjoyed having Safari installed when Apple made it for Windows too, and would still want to download it today if it was available. You can't, though.
hahaha, indeed. but i always can't remember mozilla (i don't even know i spelled it right), the other is really to remember, and automatically you know google has a chrome browser, etc.
I mean, doesn't everybody just google the thing they want and click the first result? I don't think I've heard of people just guessing "<some brand name>.com" since back in the days before the browser address bar doubled as a search bar.
I agree. That ship has sailed, at least for the foreseeable future. We switched to Valkey and it's our choice for a couple upcoming projects as well. To switch back now after this whole ordeal would make no sense at all.
In other words, the AI does exactly as instructed, including resorting to deception, to self-preserve, so it can carry out its assigned task. It quite literally does what it was told to do. Lacking a foundational ethical core, lying is acceptable.
Color has a measurable effect on humans. There's an extensive body of research on the psychological effects of color; every designer worth their salt knows this. The fields of branding and marketing use color purposefully every day as well.
Green has a soothing, calming effect on people because it's most common in our natural surroundings. For example, TV shows use "green rooms" filled with plants (and sometimes even painted green) to calm down guests before they go on stage for this very reason.
Orange, on the other hand, excites people and can elevate their heartbeat. It's a cross between red (hot-blooded, passion, rage) and yellow (energy, happiness, attention). You could say it encourages your emotions to interfere with rational thought.
So you can keep your appetite for large-scale redesigns! Just add a step to incorporate color psychology.
