I am sad to see the layoffs at the Mozilla Foundation. Mozilla plays an important role on the Internet. I may not always agree with the choices they make, but they still play an important role.

@[email protected] Well done @[email protected] - lay off advocates, save money for your CEO! Who cares about popularity? ;)
I hope one day @[email protected] or @[email protected] outruns badly managed Firefox.Meanwhile the CEO is paid nearly $7M a year.
Mozilla has been a sinking ship for years now. Their mission statement mentions themselves as an AI company rather than a browser company and they slowly keep rolling out more ads and telemetry each release.
For now Librewolf and Thorium are better alternatives. I hope the ladybird browser takes off though since its the only real competition for Blink/WebKit engine
wtf why are there hashtags
This post is federated from Mastodon.

@[email protected] Mozilla plays important role and I hope they’ll keep on with their mission, however I still don’t understand what happens with tens of millions in revenue for the foundation and hundreds of millions for the corporation.
@[email protected] If only Mozilla spent their billion dollars in assets actually developing Firefox and Thunderbird instead of AI and political advocacy. In the field of politics, persuing technological advancement first can do a lot more than asking permission later.
Wrong Mozilla. This is about the foundation, not the corporation.
How long until I have to switch to Netscape Navigator for a chromium alternative?
Netscape Navigator became Firefox hahaha
Full circle it is then.
@[email protected] Without Google FF would not exist… it plays a role but not by its own merit.
@[email protected] So am I, but I have really been expecting more layoffs than what most realize and expected.
