@Elliptica To add to this, none of the techbros saw what canning people like Brendan would lead to and some of them were way behind on where the wind was blowing inside and out of the bubble. The people who were fine tuned into this shit knew, even Vox Day's SJWs book from the early days of GG (that has aged well in some parts and badly in others IMO, the never apologize part was 100% solid advice) had a section on the aftermath to Mozilla of him being forced out.
Unsurprisingly, Firefox now has fewer people using it than Microsoft Edge especially when you add in mobile numbers, and while there was a decline due to Eich being pushed out, many users were not thrilled with it trying to copy Chrome, the plugin change, the rewrite, the Firefox OS fiasco, and many more things. To add to that, there were a lot of sneaky things Chrome did like being bundled like it was adware with literally fucking everything in the 2010s.
But Firefox now is controlled opposition, funded by Google with a wink and a nod.
