Firefox used to be on top of the world with almost a third of all internet users using Firefox. These days, they make up a pitiful 2.7% of the market share. What happened? In this video, I want to show how Mozilla’s terrible management and decisions have brought this once beloved browser down.

    I don’t disagree with the points brought up specifically in the video about poor management internals at Mozilla corp, but this video doesn’t even scratch a major part of why FF is supported which is because Firefox will always be libre software unlike Chromium and Chrome which get hit with anti-features regularly that has to be patched out (never mind manifestv3 and web environment integrity).

    Absolutely valid. If you’re switching from Chrome to FF today, you may get a good feeling for a bit. People who’ve been supporting FF or Mozilla since way back, have a right to be both disgusted and worried.

    They lost me as a user when they decided i wasn’t smart enough to manage my installed extensions so they effectively implemented a “time bomb” to disable them while promising that they would update the certificate before the current one expires. Well they didn’t and broke firefox Iirc it took them 1 or 2 days to fix the problem they created. I don’t have confidence in them after they messed up like that.
