90% of 2010’s Mozilla employees are gone. Most core employees are gone. Most Firefox-era developers are gone.

Most PM and directors were brought in after firefox got big.

They can’t even find a CEO.

The people who made Mozilla great are now working somewhere else.

One wonders if that is the overarching strategy of those who fund OSS.

    There is Zen browser, which is a fork of Firefox. Though no idea who's developing it.

        It is. At least they're not forcing the controversial changes such as Manifest V3 onto their users.
