This is not a good look, but neither is all the entitled outrage it's provoking. Nobody owes us Firefox. It costs money to produce and maintain software, and a web browser is the most complicated software there is. Obviously Mozilla has made mistakes but it's also holding the fort against a complete corporate takeover of the internet. Switching to LibreWolf is a quick fix, it's not a sustainable solution. Volunteers alone will never have the organization or resources to maintain a world-class web browser. We are going to need to help Mozilla find a better way to viability.
If only they would offer the chance to opt out of this against a reasonable subscription fee, I personally would jump at that chance.
I'm already paying money to Mozilla for Firefox Relay but this could make me stop paying altogether. Sucks to be giving them money and still getting screwed.
