Once they sold out on DRM my attitude to the whole project was "why bother". If I want a browser made by people who cheerfully assist my enemies I may as well use one that's not mediocre in every other aspect.
- dao- 11y agoSold out how? They tried but at some point it was a lost cause with every other relevant browser and the content industry pushing for DRM. Within a few years, users would have been unable to access services like Netflix in Firefox and switched to other browsers. How would that have helped save the web? With double the market share, maybe Mozilla could have pushed back longer and harder, but unfortunately that's not the reality we live in anymore.
