Sorry Mozilla, we love you, but all the good you think you're doing means nothing when you end up with no one using your browser.
Of course, Mozilla can continue to arrogantly ignore its user base.

I would love to continue using FF, but on my machine with an Nvidia card ( sigh ) the scrolling in Firefox gets very choppy when using two different browser windows open on the dual monitors. And for some reason this bothers me more than it should. Maybe one of these days I should try using it again. It's been over a year since I last tried it. It's odd because the Firefox on the desktop machine with the Nvidia card…
We see issues with NV multi-monitor configurations, and are still trying to figure them out. Also, the whole story of multi-windows should improve in the future: there is a good opportunity to share WebRender context between them, but we aren't doing this yet.
Or anything at all it seems ...
Firefox: We're the "best for a free web". Also Firefox: We support internet censorship. (source: CEO of Mozilla, link: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/we-need-more-than-deplat... )
Which part of that article advocates for censorship?
Just imagine Blender Foundation or GIMP making statements about how we need a tools to control whatever 3D models people able to work on because you know you can create some fake child pornography using them.
Or might be Apache or Linux Foundation management would say how we need to track all possible malicious actors who can run some botnet / CNC software using their products. This would be totally dystopian, isn't it?
Are the three headline features important to you? They are: - Picture in Picture - Expanded Dark Mode - DNS over HTTPs I really like Firefox, but features like this are not going to cause people to switch browsers. I'm pretty sure most end users would never even notice them. DNS over HTTPs is actually a bit of a pain if you want to host your own DNS.
I'm not even really sure what "Expanded Dark Mode" is.
DOH is probably good for many people, but I prefer to run my own DNS server (and I VPN back into my LAN when not at home with WireGuard).
A "free" web where you pretend to fight against Google, but copy every user-hostile anti-feature from them, take almost all your money from them, and put them as your default search engine.
Mozilla deserve every bit of their recent problems, just like they deserved their meteoric rise in the 2000s.

Other than the title? How about "Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation." Not to mention what immediately follows, advocating for something beyond this in the future: "This is how we can begin to do that." Looking forward to the silently installed browser extension that hides search results and social media posts that they don't want you to see. (related: https://www.cnet.com/tech/…
Amplifying content in algorithmic news feeds is hardly censorship. Anything Facebook did would be counter to the usual forces that amply divisive (engaging) content.
I'd like to mention (once again), that Firefox on Android is a huge leap in everyday browsing experience over Chrome - and you should try it if you haven't. Due to mainly one reason: ad blocker extensions; which aren't supported on Chrome. Since that's where most users are, I hope Mozilla will be able to communicate these advantages better. Chrome is arguably better on the desktop for most users, unless they're in th…

I think people are forking Chrome because it’s better code, but I might be wrong. I have only seen the code of Chrome and it’s very Google-like C++, with truly enormous codebase. Even Chrome did not fork Firefox back in the day and forked Safari. Electron did not use Firefox either.
> I think people are forking Chrome because it’s better code, but I might be wrong. I'm going to go with the latter, but at best this is debatable and highly subjective depending on what matters to you. > I have only seen the code of Chrome and it’s very Google-like C++, with truly enormous codebase. I don't know where you are going with this; FF is a large code base too, uses servo (rust) and c++. > Even Chrome did…

That sounds pretty darn cool. Are there any per-cursors or early examples of this today?
Of DAO's funding/incubating projects? shinedao does (though mostly revenue generating focus for now, although those projects can have r&d components, haven't seen pure foss dao's but i dont know everything going on in the space), probably others. Of decentralized lending protocols? aave, compound, benqi, etc.
Best browsers for a free web are Brave and Dissenter.
