Another unasked for and fruitless side-project from Mozilla that did nothing but burn money and distract from their core product. Who could have seen it coming?
Uninformed comment. Due to a antitrust 2025 federal court ruling in United States v. Google LLC, Google is no longer allowed to continue its current search deal with Mozilla. Any replacement will be far less lucrative. So Mozilla needs to aggressively invest in alternative income sources. Otherwise there will be a strong funding shortfall and a headcount reduction. This could spell the end of Gecko and ultimately Firefox.
Yeah. Not long after the standard for web browser behavior became "living", it became impossible for anyone other than a well-funded software company to keep up with the rate of changes. This was not accidental. Even Microsoft has given up on the endless race to keep up.
