A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Firefox has been irrelevant for about a decade now. Most webdevs don't even test for firefox anymore. Major websides actively ignore it and most users evidently either don't know and/or use it.
Yes, firefox is relevant as an alternative to Chromium-based browsers, but that's about it. Mozilla has done a stellar job at keeping it irrelevant to keep bagging that sweet google money.
Honestly, I hope firefox and mozilla die, to be reborn again by another entity, but Mitchell Baker probably will do their best to keep getting that sweet, sweet, Google money.

With how google has been gong mask-off, I'd argue that FF has never been more relevant
It won't change anything about Mozilla. They know they are the only viable option at the moment and they will milk it until they die. We should let it die.
