Mozilla cuts 250 jobs, says Firefox development will be affected.

Mozilla, as I predicted, is effectively dead now. No press release will say this, but I am telling you. This kills off most of the development of the browser, by the way. That’s what “developer tools, internal tooling, and platform feature development” means. That means Servo (the next-gen browser engine) is gone and much of Firefox development just won’t happen anymore.

Fuck them. They screwed over themselves and they deserve what’s happening to them.

People like me told them exactly where they were going wrong, what not to do, and how to avoid this fate, and they went and did it anyway. The nail in the coffin was of course killing off the powerful extensions they once offered and choosing the path of fake security with no customizability.

Told you so.
