Sigh, so is Mozilla just like Google now? Can't trust any services to stick around?
It’s a mastodon server. I don’t want them spending money on that anyways. They should be focusing on the browser, not social media infrastructure.
Exactly. They should be dropping anything that isn't revenue positive or isn't furthering the goals of browser. Rust is a great project because it's being used directly in the browser. Mastodon isn't, because it has no relationship to their browser efforts. I'm on the fence about the VPN, but if it's revenue positive, it should probably stick around, and it sort of benefits the browser as well.
The VPN is really not much more than white labelled mullvad + the browser extension with separate VPN servers per container.
Right, and if it's not profitable, it should be scrapped, but if it pays for itself, I see no harm in keeping it.
Always has been
It is again beginning to feel rather dysfunctional..
Yes. And add microsoft to that category. Firefox will kill itself off.
