In reality most of what I would like to see in computing is now orthogonal to the FSF goals, perhaps with the exception of having software and hardware that fits-in-head, and is secure.
The free-software is neccessary but not sufficient for users to be in control of their machine. We need to go beyond the FSF if we are to acheive this goal.
I completely agree. I want to name a subset of Free Software which fits my goals. I believe more people should be able to write their software alone. If the standards stay simple, and more servers and other things run custom software, this is better, and makes widescale attacks less feasible.
The issue with Firefox is a symptom of the issues with the WWW in general, which are the result of corporations vying for control by purposefully making things large and incomprehensible.
