Mozilla, makers of the Firefox web browser, is the latest tech company to announce layoffs. The non-profit says it is scaling back development on a number

    And this only just after they enabled a whole raft of add-ons in their mobile browser that have already stripped away so much shit from my daily browsing experience.

    I switched last year when Google entered their new phase of ad tracker evil and I bet I wasn’t the only one. Feels to me like Firefox fucked with the money and they’re being brought to heel.

      What? They’re laying off people working on a metaverse platform, mozilla.social, and other assorted products nobody cares about. They’re doing exactly what everyone said they should do, slimming down and focusing on Firefox

            They misinterpreted “metaverse platform, mozilla.social” as a single item in the list, not as two items.

            For anyone who isn’t aware, Mozilla has a thing called Mozilla Hubs that could be considered a metaverse product

              Grammatically it can be properly read either way, but I think you’re right that’s probably how they meant it.
