I've been using Mozilla since the browser was literally called Mozilla, and I remain loyal simply because I don't think we should fragment the ecosystem. One company focusing its development resources is a lot better than 3 open source projects.
But fact is that Mozilla is effing up big time. They remain in the bay area where developers are paid super high salaries when they should be a 100% remote company. They have bugs and issues decades old. They keep flirting with big business.
They are also our last big corporate hope against the enshittification of the web.
It's all just part of Mozilla's ebb and flow. Give it until 2027. They will have lost all community support and be trailing in many browser metrics. And then they'll do something that once again builds them a niche of devoted fans.
It has happened before. And before that, and before that.
