     @hfaust also
     
     maybe the level of complexity of firefox is too high.
     
     mozilla should rip the DRM out for starters but other stuff should come out too
     
     mozilla firefox won over netscape because *it was lightweight* and simple. mozilla should focus on getting back closer to that.

     @jeffcliff @hfaust From a financial perspective, the search deal is what allowed Mozilla to deem itself "guardian of the Web" instead of remaining a smallish team working on a browser and mail client. This means the past two decades of Moz history (and the internal myths they believe about their work), and their various corporate entities are all sourced from that deal providing incredible amounts of money from Google.
     
     I even read on some Mozilla site that when people donate, it goes to a completely different entity than the for-profit entity that develops the browser. I don't know what sort of options they have (and not just them: LibreWolf / PaleMoon / Waterfox / and the various other downstream forks are probably not strong enough to survive without Mozilla actively producing code upstream).

     @lnxw37b2 @hfaust again: all of which means that there's too much complexity in firefox itself/librewolf/palemoon/waterfox.

     @jeffcliff @mangeurdenuage @hfaust
     
     Reducing their code while the web standards continually inflate is only going to hasten their collapse. I'm old enough to remember when the JS scripts to launch Macromedia's Flash player didn't work in Netscape (because they were IE-only), which meant that certain sites continually asked you to upgrade your player if you weren't using MSIE. People took that to mean there was a problem with Netscape, not that Macromedia (later part of Adobe) were lazy or incompetent.

     @mangeurdenuage @hfaust @lnxw37b2 exactly. the only patches that should be allowed on firefox are ones that reduce LOC until it's a more reasonable
