Curious what people would see as the longterm future of Firefox in the ideal world. Just being privacy focused isn't enough especially for the layperson, it needs some actual benefits like being faster or at least as fast, plus mindshare from developers... but it seems impossible to compete with Google's resources on any of that. Even if Firefox committed the resources to come ahead for a moment Google could just match it easily, in addition to building better dev tooling, etc.

That being said I'm surprised they dropped the Servo project, it seemed like a step in the right direction?

I actually think working adblockers is a great pitch, not sure what sites specifically the Manifest v2 version of uBlock Origin doesn't work on, but "download Firefox to watch ad-free YouTube" is a great pitch to convince people to use it. Sucks that Apple limited custom browser engines on iOS to just the EU, otherwise Mozilla could focus on full-fledged extension parity on iOS and the pitch would be to get sync + ad-free.

I applaud Firefox for lower memory usage but it constantly shits the bed when resuming a new instance with previous tabs. If a tab crashes the whole thing crashes for me and the dev tools are really behind chrome for front end dev. I would also like if they would support input=type number ffs
