Woo, focusing on the stuff I actually use and not trying to be everything to everyone. Over-diversifying is killing so many big players.

Personally I really liked the focus on privacy-based services as a way of monetizing outside of their revenue based on which search engine is the default (basically making them Google's b*tch financially). Maybe it wasn't enough or not viable, and that's why they're scaling down..

The idea of using AI to process more stuff locally (ie: Firefox Translate) is nice and I hope they find more use for it, but that's not the kind of thing that will make Mozilla last over the years.

I hope the interim CEO and the next CEO are heading towards a cohesive vision for Mozilla's future.
