Mozilla, makers of the Firefox web browser, is the latest tech company to announce layoffs. The non-profit says it is scaling back development on a number
And this only just after they enabled a whole raft of add-ons in their mobile browser that have already stripped away so much shit from my daily browsing experience.
I switched last year when Google entered their new phase of ad tracker evil and I bet I wasn’t the only one. Feels to me like Firefox fucked with the money and they’re being brought to heel.
What? They’re laying off people working on a metaverse platform, mozilla.social, and other assorted products nobody cares about. They’re doing exactly what everyone said they should do, slimming down and focusing on Firefox
As long as they keep working on Firefox, and Thunderbird, I’m happy.
If they lost funding, hopefully those with some extra disposable income can donate a little (a recurring $5 to $15 monthly contribution is probably more appreciated than a one time $50 or $200 donation - it provides for stable long term stability, instead of sporadic unpredictable funding levels).
