"Focusing Firefox On Users In order to refocus the Firefox organization on core browser growth through differentiated user experiences, we are reducing investment in some areas such as developer tools, internal tooling, and platform feature development, and transitioning adjacent security/privacy products to our New Products and Operations team."

- kvark 6y agoI'm really worried about Mozilla's participation in standards now, WebGPU in particular :/

- xolve 6y agoSo this means more web developers are going to move towards Chromium as base development.
