What would you say if they had a big party with a lot of PR/marketing behind it;
"they're wasting all this money to have fun instead of making the product better"?
Yes, because they just want to shit on stuff.
Most of the money does not go into the browser anyways.
It really should...
Absolutely. But running after the latest hypetrain bullshit and managers cashing out on corporation income is more important to them.
Till this day the mobile browser absolutely sucks (you don't have a tab bar and you can't even set a homepage! What the hell?!) and the desktop browser gets slower with every update. But at least we now have AI nonsense, not stylable UI by default, and massive loads of telemetry and user tracking only configurable via
about:config.Firefox could be such an awesome browser if it would be modernized, made faster, and made fully configurable (mobile and desktop alike).
I'm not mad at the main devs or the volunteers. They do an awesome job! The state Firefox is in is entirely the fault of the foundation management.
