  All we want is a really good FOSS browser and email client…

  So … a company that despite decades of effort, can’t make a competitive web browser with all the help in the world, is now going to distract itself with even more non-essential rubbish with absolutely zero chance of success … can’t wait to hear what the excuse is going to be when this CEO leaves to pursue other opportunities.

  Meanwhile the Assumed Intelligence Ponzi scheme will have collapsed, taking with it a significant portion of the economy, let alone the ICT industry.

  This timeline needs some tweaking…

  Ffs stop with this AI crap, nobody wants it, the only ones that care are those morons that invested trillions into a project that nobody said they need before they started building it up, you don’t make something and then look for demand, you create an idea and then if there is demand then you try to make it to fulfill that demand.

  Deploying its roughly $1.4 billion worth of reserves to support “mission driven” tech businesses and nonprofits, including its own

  I mean, how else can you deplete a non-profits reserves?

  What does Mozilla doubling down on AI and becoming less appealing to core users mean for Firefox forks going forward? How independent of Mozilla are the biggest ones in practice?

    There's a hard fork in the works called Servo. The developers are attempting to hard fork Firefox so that they don't have to rely on it for updates in the future.

    There's another called Ladybird but there's controversy surrounding the person fronting it and the fact that they use AI to code it.

      Thanks for the link, hadn’t heard about that project, the list of target features looks very promising

  remember the good old days when firefox was the better alternative to pretty much all browsers?

  Nice, I look forward to a more privacy centric approach to this AI nonsense. Let’s see how they do.
