    I swear mozzila is trying to kill itself. They make the wrong choice 99% of the time.

      I think its popularity as a viable alternative to the google dominated browser ecosystem contradicts this.

      So long as it’s an optional feature that doesn’t impact core functionality, who cares?

    Maybe this is a 4D chess move by Mozilla, making everyone leave Firefox which makes Chrome such a monopoly that Google has to split with it. Or maybe it’s another braindead CEO or CTO pushing AI into their product because it’s the latest fad…
    Thank jebus that Vivaldi has said they won’t go down that route. They may not be 100% FOSS, but I trust my Norwegian brethren more than whatever Mozilla is doing.

        Yeah. I miss Opera Presto, some real competition. Ladybird can’t come soon enough.

    I wonder how much this will affect the development of derivatives, like Waterfox and LibreWolf.

    Work involves a lot of Google product usage, and I’ve switched to Vivaldi for that (I was using Edge prior). For personal use, it’s been Firefox forever, but I’m trying Librewolf and Waterfox now to see how they work for me. Firefox really seems like it’s lost its way.
