And in the meantime Mozilla keeps making worse decisions, too
Someone who gives a damn needs to be in charge of mozilla but i dont see that happening.
As long as they are entirely supported by Google, they aren't going to try too hard to outcompete them.
In order to get away from that, they need to find alternative ways of making money, like showing ads, which loops us back around to the guy above saying they're making bad decisions.
Your point is fair, but their real problem is they bloated up to absorb their insane budget and they are going to have to strip down to a reasonable size for a browser company before trying to establish a non-google revenue stream.
How the hell would you know this? There's a reason no grassroots project is able to compete with Chrome, Firefox or Safari, and it's not for a lack of trying.
And if you're going to tell me they should stop doing Pocket etc., then please refer to my comment above.
