Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox
AnomalousBit@programming.dev 4 months agoI’m still completely baffled that Mozilla spent years working on Servo only to sunset it. Thank goodness the Linux foundation has picked it up. Why on Earth Mozilla has decided to prioritize incorporating some crappy LLM AI model over a creating ground breaking new browser engine is baffling beyond my comprehension.

There is a long history of Mozilla sinking time and money into projects that they eventually just drop without ceremony. I’m sure a lot of those have floundered in terms of development, too, but what used to be Mozilla Labs is pretty much a testament to poor follow-through.
Honestly, focusing on the browser and rebranded Mullvad is probably their safest bet until an actual good idea comes by (and AI ain’t it).
