Huh what? I use Firefox and I'm actually very happy with it.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoWe clearly have different definitions of what product and business success represents for a large tech company.
- benjaminsuch 3y agoSure, but this is not the criteria for a company to be successful or not.
- dheera 3y agoSince when do you get to define the criteria? I'm a happy user, I consider that a success in my book.
- seniorivn 3y agoand what about their book? inability to put yourself into someone else's shoes, is a very big flag. A red one in my book.
- sgift 3y agoThe point is that less and less people use Firefox, so there seems to be a problem with success in that area, even if you are someone who still uses it (as am I).
- tomashubelbauer 3y agoI am also a happy Firefox user, but that doesn't preclude me from seeing that Mozilla is a failing steward of Firefox.
- magicalhippo 3y agoAs a happy Firefox user, I want Firefox to make me happy tomorrow as well, not just today.
- bcrl 3y agoPerformance of Firefox has steadily gotten worse lately. My bank's website has massive lag when scrolling (1 second to redraw? Great!), but it works perfectly fine in Chrome. Firefox also gets into a state where screen updates in Streeview are laggy after anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days, but I can't figure out a way to predictably reproduce it on demand. Meanwhile, Chrome is snappy all the time. I also have to manually enable one of the acceleration settings under Linux. The end result is that I'm forced to use Chrome more and more as the Firefox user experience just plain sucks in these scenarios.
- freedomben 3y agoThis is probably much more your bank's fault than it is FF. I think Mozilla has badly neglected FF to the point they probably deserve to die so a new org can take their place, but the blame for that most likely falls at the feet of the bank for not testing on FF.
- dheera 3y agoThese websites also keep adding bloat on top of bloat, hell, a goddamn button is 56 layers of nested divs these days instead of just styling the shit out of <button>. Or they do some batshit insane "polyfill" nonsense that turns the <button> into 56 layers of nested divs behind the hood. HTML hasn't caught up either, there's no <toggle_switch> that invokes the native toggle switch that every OS already has, devs are forced to mimic the toggle with 85 layers of nested divs.
- Chabsff 3y agoSomehow, I don't think a single person enjoying the browser justifies 6 Million dollars a year in executive overhead alone. That's what what success means in this context: Something that makes that expense worthwhile.
- sleepybrett 3y ago... what about two people though?
