As a long-time Firefox user, I don't want them to have an "AI strategy", I want them to have a browser improvement strategy.

Firefox has improved significantly. It's improvement strategy is mostly focused on what developers ask them to focus on. They've had great performance on the yearly interops

  • what developers do they still have. their dev console is so bad compared to Chrome. Mozilla abandoned their user base and the users have moved on.

    • I'm surprised to hear that. I was under the assumption that it was generally acknowledged that the Firefox dev tools were far and away the best of the major browsers. I always find myself missing them when having to use Chrome devtools at least.

      I feel like nowadays they both have basically the same featureset so maybe it's more about how well you know how to use them

Agree, I'm not the kind of guy that has 100 tabs open (10 at the time I'm typing this), but when I came back 2 years ago I noticed that it isn't as snappy and fast as it used to be 15 years ago before I switched to Chrome.
