I am sad to see the layoffs at the Mozilla Foundation. Mozilla plays an important role on the Internet. I may not always agree with the choices they make, but they still play an important role.

@jon@vivaldi.net Well done @mozilla@mozilla.social - lay off advocates, save money for your CEO! Who cares about popularity? ;)
I hope one day @servo@floss.social or @ladybirdbrowser@bird.makeup outruns badly managed Firefox.

Meanwhile the CEO is paid nearly $7M a year.
Mozilla has been a sinking ship for years now. Their mission statement mentions themselves as an AI company rather than a browser company and they slowly keep rolling out more ads and telemetry each release.
For now Librewolf and Thorium are better alternatives. I hope the ladybird browser takes off though since its the only real competition for Blink/WebKit engine
wtf why are there hashtags
Because it’s a federated MBin magazine, look at how it looks on my instance
@jon@vivaldi.net If only Mozilla spent their billion dollars in assets actually developing Firefox and Thunderbird instead of AI and political advocacy. In the field of politics, persuing technological advancement first can do a lot more than asking permission later.
