If firefox becomes worse or starts lagging behind more, I'll stop using it. It doesn't seem all that useful to attempt to predict 5 years into the future Firefox's state and therefore decide to switch away now.

We need to either make a WebKit-based privacy browser, or try and bring Goanna more up to date with modern web standards.

RIP Mozilla. Glad all their shit is open source.
Just wait until they start serving ads for things that don't exist and then throwing manufacturing together to make them on demand.
that's exactly what AI will accomplish, can't wait them to start making "Skibidi Toilets" because the algorithim told it to

Why doesn't Mozilla move to a Wikipedia model and ask for donations? I would certainly rather donate than be served ads by Firefox.
Because the CEO of Wikipedia doesn't get paid $2.5 million a year. She only makes $450k.
I'm OOTL, the CEO of Mozilla makes $2.5 million a year? Or am I misunderstanding it?

The only thing I don't like about Firefox (other than no PWA capability) is the 'dark pattern' of how when the home page loads, the first three of the six items shifts to the right after the page has started loading, and are replaced with sponsored links. So, if I go to click on YouTube when I launch Firefox, there's a fair chance that by the time I get to click there it'll suddenly jump over to the right and I'll end up clicking some other link.
To me, that's sketchy behaviour.

God damn it I just switched from chrome to fire fox 😮💨
I'd argue that's probably still for the best. Unless there's a usable third party I'm unaware of, it's all just Chrome/Chromium and Firefox, both of which are leaning hard into AI and ads.
At least Firefox doesn't have a huge monopoly like Chrome, so I'll be supporting the smaller guy in the meantime.
