This is a fairly good summary for me, at least. Firefox used to be an awesome standards focused alternative to the bloatware that was Internet Explorer. But that's not really what Firefox is anymore, under the current direction of Mozilla Corp. Lately, the goals seem to be about copying Chrome (things like killing XUL in favor of webext, jumping on similar UI themes, Forcing bloatware into the browser by integrating things like pocket, laying off most of the dev team for servo, etc). Basically - the current vision of Mozilla just really doesn't line up with what got me interested in Firefox as a younger dev. Am I glad Firefox is still around? Fuck yes. But I'm glad in the same sense that I'm glad Safari is still here - alternatives to chromium are healthy. But it's lost a lot of the luster it had. The focus just isn't on making a great browser that empowers users (not to discredit the folks working on it). The focus shifted to a multi-project revenue based model exactly like all the other for-profit companies (of which Mozilla Corporation definitely is). And not only is that not great for me as a user of the product - they aren't even doing it all that well, which is like watching the project sell its soul for pennies on the dollar. So really - it's absolutely the history. I expect better from Firefox than I do from Chrome, and I'm not really a fan of Mozilla Corp at all. Too much talk, too many buzzwords, too much money spent like a typical corp.
