Mozilla is falling back to the old stratergy of focusing on features.

That is the wrong stratergy, they should focus on:

  1. The browser engine, Gecko.
  2. Privacy
  3. Extensions

Without the browser engine, Firefox is dead.

Secondary priority should be privacy

Tertiary priority should be extensions, build a robust extension system, use that to add features for separate install...

    Without the browser engine, Firefox is dead.

    Personal unpopular opinion: Firefox will die the day the first alpha of LadyBird is released. Every real geek will switch to the most unstable version of that new thing because Mozilla has been pissing us for a long time with their CEO bonuses.

    So long and thanks for all the fish as they will all say.

    I've been rocking Waterfox since the whole MPL/ToS enshittification. Waterfox has kept most of the AI shit out. If I had to guess, those parts require ToS acceptance and since Waterfox can't legally grant usage to Mozilla's servers, they can't be included.

    I'd love to see a true FOSS alternative browser hit mainstream and would gladly give LadyBird a try once it's usable.
