LWDMozilla has fired Chief Product Officer Steve Teixeira after cancer diagnosis
Ok wtf is Moxilla doing? They know their company is built on good community perception, right?
I mean they’ve been pedaling AI crap for a while without negative backlash.

They’ve publicly vouched to become an AI company and an advertising company without backlash.

Oh we care, but there’s no alternative besides Chrome and Safari and those companies are even worse (Google definitely is, anyway, Apple is debatable)
Luckily there’s still alternatives like Librewolf that unfortunately still use Mozilla’s browser engine.
I do hope the Servo project will be ready to use in a production browser soon.
Possibly linuxWe are stuck with Firefox based browsers for a few years at the minimum as it takes a really long time to develop an engine.
Also Servo is very much not the only thing around. Ladybird exists as well
What they mean with AI features is also their offline website translation feature, which is something I’ve wanted for years. The alternative is online Google website translation.

Honestly a lot of Firefox users are eyeing forks
They honestly have a monopoly in the sense that they are the only think not Chrome
