> I generally feel little sympathy for Mozilla. I see this take a lot in Mozilla-ish threads, and at this point it just reads to me a lot like backseat driving. I think real critiques of Mozilla take the form of companies like Vivaldi, Opera, The Browser Company, Brave, Mighty, Synth, Sidekick, etc. I'm not doing a "put up or shut up" thing; I always think people have the right to critique and discuss. I'm just saying there's a difference between substantive and non-substantive critiques, and most of the anti-Mozilla stuff I see now seems like the former. > Gecko was a mess and they had something actually exciting on their hand which was mostly untainted by their branding. Honestly I'm not that excited by Servo. It's geek-cool that they're able to leverage Rust and build a browser engine that maybe doesn't have memory error vulns and can better take advantage of multiple CPU cores, but I'm yawning just typing that out. By the time they're done we'll have the metaverse. |

It’s not backseat driving to criticise the driver who just crashed their vehicle into the wall.

Sadly I did have to interact with Mozilla in the past decade. I wish I didn’t honestly. It goes a long way to explain why they have no momentum anymore as far as I’m concerned.
