+ We support privacy
- Yet get millions from Google to keep their search engine default.
+ We believe in transparent community based decisions
- Which is why we gutted several community darlings (Devtools, Servo, Wasmtime, MDN)
Without Servo, Firefox is doomed to become a cheap Chrome knock-off. Why not fire like 650/750 and just base FireFox on Chromium?
And in that case why should I use a knock-off, if I can have the real thing for free? Google controls the code, whatever tracking/control they build in is going to be hard to remove without a fork. A Fork Mozilla won't be able to afford.
No amount of writing manifestos is going to change that fact.

That's likely not too far behind. There might be a runway of a couple of years before that, though. I don't think they'd get rid of quite so many people at that point.

To me, this manifesto is just empty platitudes.
