Earlier quoted context omitted.

The natural consequences of Mozilla spending money on everything except on creating a the best browser in the world and working on marketshare (written in Firefox).

I'm still mad at Mozilla for all their dumb decisions and arrogant behavior (case in point - actual FF devs responses on Reddit to the backlash against "uglybar", when they have radically chopped down functionality and UX of the old address bar, saying stuff that people who want sane UI are using it wrong and shifting blame in general).

Can you link to this?

I mean this is nothing new these days. MANY sites no longer work with Firefox. Two I just came across this weekend are the local newspaper and the public library's login - but these are two out of dozens in the last year.

Which are those sites? Did you report them? (Hamburger->Report Broken Site)

You can help by reporting the sites on webcompat.com or via Firefox's new-ish add-on "webcompat.com reporter"

The natural consequence of chromewashing. If people pretend that Chrome clones are a "competitors" or viable "alternatives" it's no wonder that the only real alternative (on Windows) loses marketshare and is slowly deprecated because not many people speak out. It would be a "fun" time if FF ever dies, new IE6.0 situation but worse.

> It would be a "fun" time if FF ever dies, new IE6.0 situation but worse How would it be worse? Chromium is Open Source, and anyone can fork it if Google go too far. IE6.0 was entirely proprietary, and nobody could do absolutely anything if Microsoft went too far.

> How would it be worse?

well Google is constantly moving too fast and they're mainly an internet company, whereas Microsoft was just the software company.

Firefox isn't the champion of web anymore. Nobody should be supporting this browser until it is split from Mozilla. So good on Stripe for cutting it off. Hopefully Ladybird will be different.

Safari is a worse locked down experience, and if you run any variety of Chrome you're actively making the world a worse place by allowing a bad actor to dictate more and more web standards as user count increases. Your crusade against Firefox because of Pocket or some other small managerial is a silly and meaningless when looking at what it means if Firefox actually goes away.

It means nothing if it goes away because it has strayed from it's mission. Now it's just a puppet of Google; and a bad browser too from consumer point of view.
