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
@[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.
wtf why are there hashtags
This post is federated from Mastodon.
oh shit thats cool!!! didnt know, mb bro
Because it’s a federated MBin magazine, look at how it looks on my instance
oh shit thats cool!!! didnt know, mb bro
@[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.
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.
