Unfortunately, Mozilla is investing a ton of money into AI, too.

A desperate attempt of revenue diversification.

Considering how little they invest into their core product compared to all the other shit and how much money the top brass earns despite declining market share, I don’t think they’re hurting for money that much.

They are investing a lot in their core product. Problem is that you can’t really monatize it. You want Firefox to be paywalled?

Some of their I initiatives are good, like the built-in local translation tool we now have.

Also their initiative to recognise images and generate alt-text for screen-reader users.

My sister is blind and screen readers are close to useless on the web, so it was great to hear Mozilla is working on that.

Look into Waterfox instead.

That really doesn’t solve the problem, like every other Firefox fork they’re completely dependent on Firefox. You can’t just make a new webbrowser just like that, and while third party developers can certainly disable some anti-features, there are limits to that and they can definitely not do the basic work that the Firefox devs do (or could do, if Mozilla had different priorities).
