Is there anyone who you believe does have a finger on that pulse? If so, why? What can we learn from them?

- caslon 5y agoUnfortunately, a certain employee who was rightfully kicked out of Mozilla in 2014 made a few bets that paid off (users dislike ads, users are stupid and will love it if you offer them money, and they'll go crazy for security snake oil even if it actively harms them). Firefox doesn't block ads because they're funded by Google and they have ads in their own browser. Nobody likes ads. Especially not in the browser. This contributes to the decline. Firefox doesn't advertise with security snake oil, and they beg for money a lot, which is the exact opposite of the model proposed by the only browser that's rapidly shot up in market share in the last decade rather than roughly stagnating.
