It's weird to call for the disbandment of a relatively small company producing one of the major alternative browsers for what would otherwise be a monopoly.

What is Mozilla doing that Google and Apple aren't doing but worse? Why direct all this negative energy at the small one keeping things tolerable?

    for what would otherwise be a monopoly.

    Firefox only gets funding from Google to prevent the US government from stepping in to break up a monopoly.

    Major alternative? At 2.x% market share? You people are very delusional. By the way, the shitty market share is exclusively Mozilla's fault, even if they're always complaining about evil Google (while they take that sweet 500 M/years from that evil company and waste them on anything but fixing their shitty browser). Mozilla is ascummy/scammy company that should have died years ago. I'll celebrate their fall.

    So because they take money from Google but don't effectively challenge the monopoly, they ought to be done away with? All Hail our Chromium overlords!

    I agree that the exec salaries could use a heavy trimming to the benefit of their actual R&D, but right now, they're the biggest challenger to the dominance of Chromium. They could be better, sure, but I'd rather have mediocrity than no choice at all.
