Not disagreeing, but how/what could Mozilla spend money on instead?
Is there a backlog (I know there's always a backlog) of WORTHWHILE features/services they could be working on if more money was reallocated to engineering?
Seems like a lot of their more recent services are probably breaking even or maybe even costing them. And I doubt they're really affecting market share or reputation in a meaningful way.
Meanwhile Firefox seems either at parity or ahead of Chrome/Safari/etc, depending on who you ask. (Ahead if you ask me, except on power consumption).
Perhaps Mozilla would have been able to continue Servo, but that's about the only example I can think of. The Rust language and ecosystem doesn't seem to need Mozilla at this point in time. https://killedbymozilla.com/ https://killedbymozilla.com/
Maybe lack of a vision has a lot to do with the state of Mozilla and/or Firefox. Then again, it would depend on the vision. After all, Mozilla/Firefox's competition have deep pockets to keep up with any technological advantage that comes their way that doesn't negatively affect/impact their lucrative business interests (advertising, services, etc).
