I can't help but feel that 'diversifying' Mozilla's product line up is one of the problems. I'd scrap everything else and just focus on the browser. I know I have a skewed view of the software market, but I'd pay $$ per year for Firefox. It feels like many businesses would too if it offered some guarantees of data privacy. Edge feels like it's moving AWAY from enterprises with the recent nonsense integrating deferred payments and price comparison tools. Brave is pushing Crypto which is kryptonite for many orgs. Chrome is feeding ad algorithms. Seems like a gap to me.

All that stuff is poison. It comes from a good place but corporate uses it to promote people who should never ever be in a leadership position. Suddenly they get a platform for promoting gender issues instead of focusing on the product.

  "Diversifying" in this context is referring to making sure Mozilla is not as reliant on a single revenue source (from Google, even) by working on more products that can produce income.

Vivaldi is my daily driver. I don’t know why it isn’t more popular.

  Essentials, classic or fully-loaded version? and does it support ublock-origin?

    Vivaldi is a chromium-based browser, so it comes with the pros and cons of that. Pro being that it (currently) supports ublock... we will see if they decide to adopt manifest v3 or not.

They are too distracted by politics and a CEO that gets a raise despite the current performance stats. I am enjoying Chromium Ungoogled with uBlock and Metamask which gives me the best web app testing and crypto facilities. I am a bit wary of Brave.
