Stuff like this makes me wonder why I still cling to Firefox instead of switching to one of the actually privacy-focused Chromium forks. I've been using Arkenfox to turn off all the telemetry/etc but it increasingly feels like a game of whackamole. https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js
Earlier quoted context omitted.
You want them to be Google's vassal state and wait for death instead of trying to become self-sustainable? Defeatist mentality if I've ever seen one.
I want them to not replicate google. I use Firefox to fight ads, not to get ads in my searchbar.
Seems like this is in support of "Firefox Suggest", which seems to show sponsored links. I really don't like advertising so I really don't like going down that road. Can't they just take Google's yearly $600,000,000 payment and build the best browser "for the user" while also addressing technical debt and organizational issues so it can continue as an open source project if/when the money ever dries up?

How about a write-up on how Firefox plans to stay competitive and integrate/innovate on some of the best features from competing browsers?
I don't want to be given a "browsing experience". I don't want to be treated as a product, sold to data brokers without my knowledge. My browsing experience is already tailored to me by my own actions. I guess I'll be migrating to LibreWolf.
Is it possible to use Firefox without having a browsing experience? It is a web browser!
Seems like Mozilla really is fighting a losing battle: Whenever they as much as think about doing 1% of the monitoring that their competitors do (often for user research to guide and focus their development efforts; unclear if that's what's happening here though), they alienate a vocal part of their user base; when they don't, their software drifts further and further from what users actually want and need.
