| >We are undoubtedly witnessing a rapid decline of Mozilla and its products: the question we should be asking ourselves is: how long before the total collapse? Why ask this? Tomorrow they could announce huge new funding from Bezos or google announcing cutting off funding. Regardless, it doesnt uninstall software from your machine. >And furthermore: are those Linux users (like me) who are still relying on Firefox for doing their development job ready to abandon it? I technically use firefox everyday; but it could be force uninstalled from my computers and id mostly not notice. I cant imagine being so dependent on it. >I wonder what is your opinion Hardly needs to be proven that Mozilla has been declining a very long time. Microsoft never invested in Internet Explorer because of the antitrust charges in the early 2000s. Opera had ads, firefox basically became a major player by default with nobody contesting them. Mid to late 2000s, financial crisis era, they became activists for the open web and net neutrality; but after the financial crisis they jumped over to "social justice" which destroyed them. |
