Precisely the last thing we need is more ads and unwanted features in Firefox.

DDG has been very lightweight with regard to user experience. And they actually have to, otherwise, they couldn't distinguish themselves from the competition (ie. Google). So there's no realistic risk of invasiveness.

WRT the features: Firefox needs market share above all. I'm actually terrified by a future where companies can't be bothered to put even a minimal effort to make a website/service run acceptably on Firefox. Try to use Slack on it, and you'll see what I mean.

This isn't the future unfortunately. This is the present.

Future? As a webdev I don't remember having to check if something works on Firefox since probably 7-8 years at least. Userbase is too small to justify allocating resources.

The best is the furniture maker splash screen.

My wife says what does it have to do with the internet. I told her Mozilla has conflicting priorities.
