Mozilla 'Rewiring' to AI – to Save the Web, or Save Itself?
www.omgubuntu.co.uk
Mozilla says its AI 'rewiring' is a moral crusade to save the web from Big Tech. Our snarky explainer asks if the real goal is to goose revenue instead.

    Okay, realistically, if Mozilla continues to shit the bed with everything, what’s the future of Webkit browsers? How tied into Mozilla is it? I’m using Waterfox at the moment, will I need to be looking for a new browser in the next few years or is it decoupled enough that we can keep the forks and root out the bullshit?

      WebKit is Safari, Firefox is Gecko. But Gecko is mainly supported by Mozilla, so if Mozilla can’t support it financially, it remains to be seen whether someone else can or will (and if so, how).

    Sinking itself.

    jwz ⇒ Mozilla’s Original Sin

    In my humble but correct opinion, Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:

    1. Building THE reference implementation web browser, and
    2. Being a jugular-snapping attack dog on standards committees.
    3. There is no 3.
