Or Mozilla’s leadership was distracted by a bunch of meaningless distractions instead of focusing on unsexy things like this and lost out to a competitor. It wasn’t the users that lost interest in Firefox. It was Mozilla that lost interest

It’s interesting because AWS squired cloud9 a while back and currently offers something very similar with very little fanfare. Sometimes the path you take your users through is more important. Cloud9 was trying to take already established d

It is a combination of feeling powerless and feeling afraid. The majority is more afraid of what will happen if the government does not find the information to catch the person trying to hurt them, than they are about the government finding

Firefox is struggling due to the borderline legally liable gross mismanagement of their executive leadership. How are any of these people allowed to be in control of, sadly what was, such an important piece of the open web? Mind blowing all
