Mozilla launches Thundermail, a Gmail alternative email service with @thundermail email addresses, and Thunderbird Pro, which includes appointment scheduler, file sharing tools, and AI-powered features (Thunderbird Assist):
alternativeto.net/news/2025/4/
(POV it will be killed off after a short time like other Mozilla products lol. There's already Proton Mail, a privacy-focused mail service from a company with a better track record, more than 100 million users, also Tuta for those who don't mind it not being fully FOSS, so I don't really think Thundermail has a shot here, but nice try regardless, at least they try to have some source of income other than Google.)

Firefox receives new Terms of Use, Mozilla argues that it will offer users "more transparency" over their "rights and permissions", but its wording raises concerns, it only applies to the executable code though, so forks like LibreWolf probably won't be affected:

(It doesn't affect the original uBlock Origin, luckily Mozilla doesn't plan to drop Manifest v2 support yet, so the original uBlock Origin will still be usable. Hopefully gorhill changes his mind until then (the ploblem with sideloading the Lite extension is that it can't be updated without reinstalling it.))

KDE Plasma's upcoming 6.2 version going to contain annual donate notification:
phoronix.com/news/Plasma-6.2-B
(Many users are mad about this because it makes Plasma "Windows-y", and it's annoying to get a popup when doing important work. The latter I can absolutely agree with, but I can also understand KDE's move because being a non-profit, it needs more permanent donors who don't just donate a large amount at once, but smaller amounts multiple times.)
(That being said, if I were them, I'd put the "notification" in the settings, under the window header, with a dismiss button. If a user dismisses it, it appears 2-3 months later. This way it wouldn't be that annoying but at the same time it's also more noticeable. What do you think about this? Let me know in the comments below.)
