   @grips@cawfee.club @vkc@linuxmom.net Yeah, the Gnome gives me same vibes that Mastodon does.
   
   They don't care about what their users actually want. They have their own vision and ignore all other suggestions.

     @Pi_rat@freesoftwareextremist.com @grips@cawfee.club @vkc@linuxmom.net Nah Mozilla is different. Everyone who actually cares at Mozilla left or got fired years ago. Mozilla doesn't give a shit about their browser anymore and are spending all their budget on random AI projects nobody asked for. They are just controlled opposition for Google so if someone would ever sue them they can point at Mozilla and say "look we totally don't have a monopoly guys"

     How are they gonna make money, in the long term, if they only focus all their efforts on a web browser that's effectively free software? They can't make money off of it because nobody wants to pay for a web browser. They expect it to be free.
     
     Them trying to diverge their business is actually the only course going forward

     You're saying they should drop everything else they're doing and focus on the one project that's not making them any money. Isn't that counterintuitive to the whole purpose of a company?
     
     Reminder that Firefox is free software. Every bit of work they're putting into it is effectively given away to the community. They won't see any return on investment from it.
     
     Even assuming they did have the money to continue working on Firefox for the foreseeable future, why should they continue to work on it for free?

     @dead_man@dill.burggit.moe @Pi_rat@freesoftwareextremist.com @grips@cawfee.club @vkc@linuxmom.net Firefox actually went from a genuinely great browser to "at least it's not google, I guess" in the past two decades.
     
     And the only reason for this is because Mozilla decided to make it shit.

     @dead_man@dill.burggit.moe @Pi_rat@freesoftwareextremist.com @grips@cawfee.club @vkc@linuxmom.net Mozilla is a non-profit, with a for-profit subsidiary which is supposed to invest all profits into further development. That was the intention when Mozilla was created.
     
     This fact and on top of their slogan, which is not true, I think that is definitely worthy of criticism.
     but as Firefox becomes less and less influential in the browser market, that source of revenue is becoming riskier and riskier every day.Firefox is only less influential because of the way Mozilla is doing things, you're reversing causation here.

     @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo @Pi_rat@freesoftwareextremist.com @grips@cawfee.club @vkc@linuxmom.net the slogan is just a PR thing.
     
     If you're advocating for them to do work for the community for free, you're effectively wishing for them to go bankrupt.
     
     Sure, they do make money off of Google paying them to make the Google search engine the default one in their browser, but as Firefox becomes less and less influential in the browser market, that source of revenue is becoming riskier and riskier every day.
     
     Mozilla is seeing the writing on the wall on this one. I think that it's healthy for them to divest their resources in other places. The browser market is just not profitable anymore, now with Google Chrome being a monopoly and all

     They don't exist in this bubble where they are immune to capitalism. Being non-profit simply means that the profits they're making isn't going to someone's pockets. Software engineers working for them still need to be payed

     Websites that require you to download and run 10 MB of proprietary broken chrome specific javascript that does not respect the W3 standards most of the time just want to spy on and sell your data and do not contain any valuable information in the first place.
