Mozilla Foundation lays off 30% of its employees, ends advocacy for open web, privacy, and more – OSnews

@osnews The death knell for a browser is when they start releasing features that aren't browser features (integrated email, home page widgets, weird-ass 'keep for later' bloatware). They're all things that are perfectly reasonable *as plug-ins/extensions*, but they've got no business being in the core browser. When they enter the main codebase, it's a sign of poor direction for the product because the devs are adding their own pet ideas instead of maintaining/improving the browser itself.
