I've went through some of the comments on a german IT news site regarding this and it's been nothing but dissapointing. People openly post that they'll switch to Chrome or Chrome-derivatives, as if that fixes things, because Mozilla allegedly is throwing away money by not 100% focusing on the browser. Mozilla is the last company other than Apple maintaining an independent browser engine. Microsoft has given up as well. If Mozilla and by Proxy the Firefox Project dies, the internet will become a darker place. The only hope would be that Microsoft ruins the Chrome browser via EEE (and in thise case, one of the instances where I hope they do) before Mozilla has to shutter. People give Google an excuse for the billionth time they are caught exporting your medical history from chrome but if Mozilla makes a mistake, they're chastized for it. It's disgusting how people treat Mozilla.
