This is unpopular opinion, but for Firefox to live, Mozilla, as it currently operates, needs to die.
They forgot their core user base hates cloud and AI features. They want a simple browser that connects to web servers and displays pages. Meanwhile, executive are getting fat salaries and bounces while begging users for money on AI and other privacy intrusion projects like adding perplexity directly to Firefox. They lost their vision long time ago.
The Perplexity AI will track users for targeted Ads while showing some Gen AI content when you search for something.
The whole point of using Firefox on Linux, or even Windows/macOS or mobile, is to avoid tracking and to maintain safety. How hard is that to understand? Why do they have "tech bro" style executives at a non-profit? They are treating it like a Silicon Valley app where you do everything to collect money. It makes me sick seeing how they are ruining their reputation.
It's about where the money is coming from. If we really want a community-directed browser, it'll have to be community funded.
Otherwise, the sponsors will get what they ask for.
