> Firefox has no path, literally none, in getting a significant marketing share.
We used to have these discussions in the Linux world. Some would argue that the goal is to take market share away from Microsoft, even if you have to add closed software to the distribution. Others, including me, felt the goal was to provide an open alternative. That is where I stand on Firefox as well.

You don't need to be real creative to come up with ways to monetize their brand. They're the nonprofit that makes open tools that protect your privacy. Partner with someone to provide cloud storage, email, a notes app, calendar service, and anything else that requires security and privacy.
Edit: To be clear, I support Mozilla.ai if it gives us a private option. I'd like them to integrate it with Firefox.
- idiotsecant 4y agoI agree - if Mozilla is pushing out a useful product and they have the money to keep that product in development as needs change what's it matter if not that many people are using it? Selfishly, I don't care what other people use - just what I want to use.
