Yes. Mozilla has let firefox rot. Firefox can't even do tasks like render gradients properly (examples of such issue https://play.tailwindcss.com/9hekptcy9b https://codepen.io/art-solopov/pen/VYwwdBK. and refuse to implement stuff like webusb despite the fact that it can be done in privacy friendly ways.
I don't think firefox is a lost cause, but I do think mozilla is a lost cause. I have little hope that mozilla will right the ship, but sometimes things happen that do give me hope.
I do think gecko is quite frankly a bad platform, there is indeed a reason why so many things use blink/chromium as a base and not gecko, is it possible to make gecko into a suitable alternative? sure, but mozilla hasn't gotten even remotely close.
Thanks for letting us know to discount what you say -- if you prefer monopoly over choice, we're really not having the same conversation.
literally said the exact opposite in the quoted post. But I get that reading is hard.
Not really, when you push immature alternatives when ignoring a real choice. Seems more like you are supporting monopoly by ensuring that actual competitors get ignored - along with even smaller vendors.
"Look, don't use LibreOffice instead of Microsoft Word, what you really want is VIM!"
this is an extraordinarily bad take.
