I am sad that Mozilla is a Greek tragedy. I have always envied people who worked there. But, the bad parts of history rhyme with history all over again. How everybody has to spoil things that were at one time working fairly well. How they have to ruin it for various what I would call objectively bad, but understandably human nature driven, reasons. I still use Firefox preferentially over anything else as much as I can because it /seems/ like the least evil thing around, but it is really kind of a poopshow itself in all sorts of ways. The UI UX has of course over time just been a comedy of oh look i slipped on a banana peel made of dog excrement kind of horribleness. (I will say that I think that is a true statement about literally every web browser (let alone yes almost all software in general) I have ever used, but that doesn't really count in their defense in my opine.) And all along they've been pretty much only alive because of the revenue stream from Google, I guess. So nowadays we get all the sturm und drang about how they are laying folks off and cancelling projects. C'est la vie. There's a technological Nero somewhere trying to sell lyres online to anybody who will buy one.
To quote a more eloquent and pithy friend of mine, "MOZILLA REVEALS SECRET PLUTONIUM FLUORIDE SUPERCONDUCTOR PROPULSION EXPERIMENTS. Guys? The Browser? I used Firefox in the 2000s the way I voted for Ralph Nader in the 2000s, as a pitiful symbol of defiance. I used Firefox in the 2010s the way I voted for Democrats in the 2010s: as an absolute last resort with a gun to my head and no other choice."
