Mozilla could have had the no-nonsense, high performance browser backend that everyone uses to build their own browsers (like the recent glut of AI browsers), instead of everyone using Chromium/Blink. In the past, Gecko was really the go-to choice for this. They almost had a second shot with Servo. But they kinda really dropped the ball on the technical capability of the browser while continuing to be distracted by all sorts of random gimmicks like Pocket and then this. Sad!

I agree with the sentiment, but you underestimate the level of engineering, coordination, design work, testing it is to do this.

It is admirable that they even have a half-decent browser, but to compete at the top you need soooo much money and motivation.

Let's not forget the CEO who paid herself a $6.9m salary in 2022, $5.6m in 2023.
