    Another day, more Mozilla FUD. I just saw the switched on Linux guy posted some too. They arent a perfect company, but lets not pretend they’re exactly like google or a mini google. It feels almost coordinated to get you to feel like all companies are compromised, so you should just use the popular thing and forget about privacy and security.

    Honestly a number of these were abandoned for reasons that are fair enough.

    Additionally, lots of these are open source and either have been or can be forked.

    The loss of FirefoxOS was quite a shame at the time, but i can’t say i miss the rest. Servo, on the other hand, is all but dead. Cannot wait to see what the future holds for the project

      I think Firefox OS could have a successful reboot today. JavaScript frameworks were not what they are now, and between react, vue, svelte, and angular, I think we are in a good place.

      I feel electron and tauri have demonstrated how well JavaScript can be used for interface while allowing it to access system resources in a safe way.

      Perhaps it should not be run by Mozilla, though, IMO they should focus on Firefox.

      You mean they throw a lot of money at the wall hoping that something will stick?
