Give it to me straight. Is Firefox dying?
>>
No, but Chrome is.
>>
>>109082105
HTML and HTTP dying
>>
>>109082105
Yes hopefully they can finally yiff in hell
>>
>>109082105
Development seems pretty active. The only thing that would kill Firefox is Google stopping funding, which I really doubt they ever will, considering they almost got their asses caught on a monopoly lawsuit sometime ago.

Ladybird is releasing its alpha later this year, might be good to check that out too.

>>109082138
True, MV3 was the final nail in the coffin
>>
>>109082105
Everything is dying because that's the whole point. You will own nothing.
>>
>dying
correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't firefox already "dead"? Isn't it just a corpse that google is necromantically keeping alive so to not be called a monopoly -- and that it'll remain in this "technically alive" state for as long as google has need for it?
>>
>>109082105
no but it's enshittifying
>>
>>109082182
Shut the fuck up incel, firefox is the best browser in the world and you're fucking racist if you aren't using this buggy laggy piece of garbage
>>
>>109082105
Nothing lasts forever. But Firefox is still healthy, has hundreds of millions of users, and will likely be around for a long time.
>>
>>109082105
browsers are pointless when there are apps and ai agents. what more do you need anon?
>>
>>109082105
vulkan video next release
nvidia HW acceleration on linux will finally work without the hacky va-api driver that requires disabling the sandbox
>>
Check this out: having more than one web browser
>>
>>109082105
No. It's basically the only browser, that isn't a fork, proprietary nor chromium based. (I know ladybird and servo are a thing now).

Even if the mozilla team dies, people would fork the project. Mullvad, the TOR Project and many Linux distros rely on FireFox. It's a Hydra, you can't kill it so easily.
>>
>>109082105
Firefox can't die because then monopoly and all that...
So, no.

petting and hugging kit the firefox

You tell me: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2046154

God I fucking wish

then what is its successor?

>>109082142
HTTP still has use for LAN only home servers.

>>109082105
It is controled opposition, google is providing the money to avoid antitrust issues.

>>109082182
>>109084405
Back to /pol/ with your conspiracy theories
>>
>>109082182
Pretty much but it's still the best browser unless youre on cheap hardware from 2008. Chrome mogs firefox when your hardware is indian tier, but if you have a good PC which can deal with FFs horrendous overhead FF is just better in every way now.

>keeping alive so to not be called a monopoly
There is literally no evidence of this claim you guys keep repeating over and over and over again.
Maybe that made sense when Firefox had more than 1% browser marketshare, but at this point that argument doesn't hold up to any scrutiny at all.
In fact, it's exactly the opposite. Google was almost forced to STOP paying Mozilla because paying them was seen as abusing their monopoly in Internet Search engines.

The only reason Mozilla still gets funding from Google is that the judge presiding over the Search monopoly case ruled in Google's favor.

with all the slop mozilla is adding to firefox and the advertisement they did on twitch I think they got some more zoomer users but they are ruining it.
I hope custom CSS will still be available when Nova comes out, if not I will only use it for testing and nothing more
