I saw/heard an interesting take from a YouTube the other day.
They argued that forks are killing Firefox. Everyone using a fork doesn’t get counted in firefox’s numbers, they don’t see all the Linux user or people turning off AI features because we turned telemetry off. They only see the telemetry of the windows users that use the AI features everyday.
On one hand fuck Firefox’s current direction and the forks are great. On the other hand, maybe we should all use Firefox for some casual stuff just to keep the numbers up.

people been saying how we as a society measure browser usage is all wrong. i’ve thrown up my hands at this point. the people with the most to gain from correcting this systemic failure, mozilla, have fully committed to sacrificing everything that made themselves valuable. i will continue to use the outcome of their work, at least in part, via zen at work and librewolf at home. as they continue to chase a market that isn’t there—people who don’t want to use a browser with the problems of chrome, but with all the problems of chrome—maybe at some point they’ll realize that they are wasting time and resources on a lost cause and dedicate themselves to some other course of action. but at this point i have more hope that zen and librewolf contributors will fork gecko, switch to goana, or servo will grow into something than that mozilla will ever get their shit together.
