Yeah, like firing your researchers. What good was that Servo thing anyways? Don't need no PhDs when you can write endless self-aggrandizing blog posts while increasing your own pay.
I'm sorry, but to them it was a experimental toy that didn't make them any money and they saw it as a cost center.
Yes. Servo represented a major technological differentiation from Chromium-based browsers while remaining competitive if not superior. A triumph in any real sense, not just for Mozilla but for everyone who cared about the future of the web.

WebRender was part of that experimental toy, and it shipped to production years ago.
Cutting costs via way of sacking R&D is a type of short-term thinking that's so devoid of foresight it boggles the mind.
