I feel foolish for donating to them, but that was a while ago when I thought they had a smidgen of a chance left. Checking up on them now they have decided to go "fully beyond the point of no return" with their new CEO and "AI strategy" now. It is obvious he is a Google plant.
They lost the rendering engine wars to Chromium despite their initial victory in the 2000s over Internet Explorer (They had 30% market share at one point). They completely failed in Mobile (I still have a now non functional Firefox phone), they failed in extensions after they destroyed XUL. The ONLY thing they have left is ublock origin, but most people don't care about ads and actually like buying things.
Mozilla deserves to be replaced like XFree86 was replaced by Xorg and then by XLibre, not just a softfork that is just git cherrypicking like all the current forks, but an actual true new foundation and true "new Phoenix" (Mozilla historians know what I mean) that disables all enshittification and does not take Google blood money.
