If you haven’t heard, Google is still appealing an EU court ruling that would prevent it from paying Mozilla to be the default search engine in Mozilla Firefox. Those payments make up 80% of Mozilla’s revenue.

I hope that this does not mean the end of Firefox.

Ditto. There are still alternatives Librewolf, but they are a fork of Firefox. I don’t know if they will be able to keep up with web standards on their own.

Even if Firefox continues, the Mozilla foundation’s goals are partly regressive. They aim to be advertiser friendly. I wonder if they will block plugins like UBlock Origin like Chrome has?

Being able to run ad / malware blockers is one of the reasons I will mostly switch to Firefox once that change comes into effect. Firefox can regain some market share if they don’t screw it up.

I'm not sure it will be the "end" persay, but their relevancy is declining even further than what it already is. 2-5% market share depending on which site is reporting. Best case, this ends their tranny and lgbt divisions and forces them to focus on product. Worst case....lets just say I hope they drop the source code before they pull the plug so opensource can continue the work for them.
