I was around when Netscape launched the Mozilla project, and how they (and later AOL) tried to keep the Netscape suite alive by adding more and more bloated crapware to it. No body wanted any of it, so no one used it, and Netscape Navigator was blown away when Firefox arrived on the scene.
Cut to today and looking at OMG's news about the latest FF 142 release it 100% feels like Mozilla corp is pulling the exact same shit moves Netscape/AOL was 20 years ago. No one wants topic-based new tab page recommended stories. No one wants AI generated tab groups. No one wants to buy a VPN service from their browser vendor. All this crap is getting piled into FF by a dying vendor desperate to turn a buck, but all it is doing is driving people away.
Honestly, I don't know what Mozilla could do now to fix the problem (maybe not have incorporated and try to run the project like a for-profit company in the first place perhaps?), but maybe the solution is in fact a full community fork, like Libreoffice, or, like oh yeah OG Mozilla.
Or maybe (and this is what I'm hoping) Servo is to Mozilla today what Mozilla originally was to Netscape all those years ago - a soon--to-be successful community-run browser project cast off by a dying browser company. A plucky alternative to the incumbent monopoly's rapidly stagnating browser, IE. Err, I mean Chrome.
Here's hoping! Or even better, go contribute! https://servo.org/

But hey, at least it now boasts a "screen reader" for those who want to read the fine print on how much further it has to go.
