(Oh no, Google will have one less "fake rival" on the market, will also become an illegal monopoly on the browser market lol)
("Jokes" aside, Mozilla went down a dark path in the past 1-2 decades, Firefox isn't really a privacy browser anymore, but regardless, it would be a huge loss for the FOSS and privacy community as it would also mean the end of FIrefox forks like LibreWolf, Floorp, Waterfox, Tor, Mullvad Browser etc.)
(It would be a bigger much much bigger loss for Mozilla than for Google who's able to pay literally any amount of fine...)

Firefox 129 released with customizable Reader Mode, tab preview on mouse hover, option to use DNS resolver of the OS (supported on Linux, Android 10+ and Windows 11) etc.:

(That Identitites feature was a really bad idea from their users to ask for, because if Proton becomes an evil corporation in the future, they can easily exploit this feature with all the users' sensitive data...)
