Mozilla jumped the shark when they relented to supporting EME and packaging Widevine and OpenH264 with an otherwise-FOSS product.

It's not as though a fork couldn't have added those.

And despite adding those the user share of Firefox continues to decline.



How Mozilla has changed in the last years hurts the most. I do think the leadership just wants to profit from the name and it will at one point cease to exists.

It has done much for the net though, it should not be forgotten.


they are just trying to stay alive


They're doing a poor job of it. They've been stuck at around 4% market share for over a year now.


Mozilla is not GNU. They may compromise on their values because it allows them to stay relevant and get anything done at all.


Stay relevant? Firefox is stuck at around 4% of market share. They're as relevant as a statistical aberration.
