    Make a stable, privacy respecting, robust browser with a powerful extension environment? No let’s try do do chrome 2

    Mozilla could solve all of it’s issuesby just removing all of the executives

      I switched to FF after having enough of Chrome’s shenanigans. I don’t make changes easily, and I took the sacrifice of not being able to receive calls over Facebook (desktop browser, and some of my acquaintances wouldn’t leave FB), and I still preferred Firefox after that.

      And now they want to turn it into another Chrome? I could still just use Chrome and have the lost functionality. I mean I won’t, but they will just lose users with that direction.

      It’s definitely an issue with the culture among tech companies.

      They’re all regurgitating each other’s shit, so whenever a bad idea gets passed around, they all jump on board.

      How do you think they will do that without any money?

      It’s always “just do the browser” , ignoring the fact that everything you listed doesn’t matter at all to the general public who are likely using Chrome because it’s the default on their device.

      Mozilla is trying to find revenue sources but people just complain about it.

      The AI integration is clearly attempting to be a new search box.

          It isn’t though. At the higher end the last ceo was making 7 million. That is roughly 12 enginees after compensation and everything else… It isn’t nothing but it’s less than 5 percent of the employees they laid off a year ago.

          Increasing executive pay is a problem but it will barely move the needle.

            For what it’s worth, I would have no issue payibgif I knew that money didn’t go in the pockets of a few executives :)
