I don’t think Mozilla should be accelerating the current path they’ve chosen

> By setting up Firefox as a standalone product organization, we will also be able to bring more focus to our continual efforts to improve the Firefox experience for everyone who uses it.

This seems to be the biggest point of this reorg ?

One could hope, even though it is still my main browser, it hardly matters in many browser matrixes nowadays, and I doubt there is anything left to take it out of tiny market share it currently has.

https://servo.org/ is seeing new development alongside https://tauri.app/ which seems like it could replace Electron, getting them a little closer to native speed and memory usage.

It'd be nice to see more and more of Servo integrated into Firefox. Web pages rendered at 120fps and fewer memory leaks in long-lived many-tabbed browser sessions would be lovely.

Call me jaded, but when your major re-org announcement has basic editing errors it damages trust that you are competent + engaged + sincere.

Reading that reminded me of this: https://www.atrixnet.com/bs-generator.html

Here I thought Mozilla would finally start combating fake news and propaganda online.

But I am disappointed, it's "just" detecting fake reviews from sellers online.

How would they even do that though? Who gets to decide what's fake and what's propaganda and why would Mozilla be in any trustworthy position to take on this responsibility?

You are confusing fake or not with "confirms my moral bias or not" and "right or wrong".

Data is unbiased, the interpretation of it is not.
