They need to build their own privacy-oriented services, and offer different tiers. Also important is that if they do launch a product, make sure they plan on keeping it alive or people won't trust it and migrate to it (like how Google kills products). Make it a safe-haven for those who cares about privacy. And I'm not talking about using third-parties and rebranding them as their own..

    Yeah.

    I think they tried with a few services, like the VPN, but could never afford to go whole-hog with a stack like Proton.

    …In fact, it’d be interesting if Mozilla merged with Proton, DuckDuckGo or something.

    Ddg, proton, mulvad and Mozilla would actually be a solid force that could make something great. But 1St party support for products is against the ethos of firefox and open source.

    They could continue Firefox as normal and then from a working group to make a new browser designed specifically for a new internet or a new group of sites on the current internet walled off from big tech by having their own dns. That would be interesting. An internet that actually follows w3c guidelines and adhears to open principles. It must provide a good experience it can't be all HTML and CSS blogs like all other alternatives. It should try to do the current web better instead of 1999.
