they went woke, and are on the path to go broke. Sadly, they’re the only mainstream competition to Chrome.

  > and are on the path to go broke. Sadly, they’re the only mainstream competition to Chrome. Is it overly cynical of me to wonder if this is Google's doing? Setting someone to infiltrate Mozilla's management and sabotage it, with the long-term goal of killing all serious non-chromium alternatives. I don't know about the woke thing, I figure it's more likely to be about removing ad-block friendly API's in Manifest V3 (and presumably even more hostile changes in some future Manifest V4).

    Nobody wants firefox to stay around more than google. Its one of their few escape cards in an antitrust trial for browser monopoly. And the woke thing is non sense.

Google wants Firefox to stay around, but in a form that's much closer to Chrome. Of all the browsers that still have significant userbase remaining, Firefox is an "anomaly" in that it's one the user has more control over, and Google is slowly trying to change that.
