I sometimes wonder if this really would be the case or if people would step up. Realistically I'm afraid you need a big team to develop a browser that can do everything from videocalls to online docs and 3d games (not very good but it's kinda amazing).

Large team? Yes. hundreds of millions in operating budget per year? No.

Nah there is no way that Mozilla isnt 90% bloat at this point. The google deal needs to go if Mozilla wants to survive long term.

Who else would work such magic as making sure there is an AI integration panel, or a cool new logo.

What about the advocacy team that will bend over to whatever dodgy shit megacorporations wan.

Edit: nvm, I just remembered they completely shut off the advocacy division. Probably will shut off a bunch of other shit before they touch the execs.
