While Mozilla is far from perfect, I think they've managed to avoid getting shitty for almost 20 years.
That's because the Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit. They don't need to maximize value for their shareholders™.
Thank you Netscape for setting Navigator free!
The Enshitification cycle is a feature of for profit corporations, Google was always going to turn evil at some point.
The Mozilla Corporation is for profit, but they reinvest all of their profits. They are also wholly owned by the Foundation. You can't donate to Firefox.
Yes, and they've made some profit-driven decisions, such as pocket integration, but never on the level of what google does.
That's why I've said they are far from perfect (but the best we have).
And dropping Thunderbird :(
Although it seems to be doing well now under its own, newish commercial corporation.
It's coming along nicely. I donate and am a fan.
