I think Mozilla could use a new CEO and I want to be optimistic. That said:

  • Red flag 1: They made someone from the BoD the new CEO. This rarely works out well
  • Red flag 2: The new CEOs CV is full of things that turned into menaces to the public and/or internet (airbnb, paypal, ebay)

I've known Mozilla being great wouldn't last forever, and there it is. Someone from those companies at the helm? Here comes the enshitification.

We can version freeze forever. Anything that won't work in 2023 firefox is probably trash anyway.

Called palemoon, except version freeze is much older.

Anything else will goatsy your computer to all forms of zero days.
