Rooting for a Firefox focused 2024! 🦊
I read few weeks ago that firefox wasn’t the priority anymore, but the services.
First good news from Mozilla since at least a couple of years.
This feels like shuffling deck chairs on the titanic.
A board member and the CEO swap roles… The core leadership group remains intact
Thank the gods.
Why
She presided over a massively shrinking market share of Firefox, adding proprietary bloat like pocket, wasted huge amounts of effort on weird shit like Mozilla’s own half baked metaverse, while quadrupling her own salary. The kind of stuff you expect from a lawyer.
The entire board needs to be replaced with people that actually know how to program.
thank you. I asked a few people and no one had any answers.
Back to the chairman role. She hasn’t lost an ounce of power.
