Given these positive signals

Those idiots waited for 4 years because they followed the hype of the moment. I'm glad I removed Google from my life.

This must be your first time seeing what Google support looks like

This is pretty standard unless you can get an exec’s personal attention.

Beyond this, even if you can get engineers to look at a bug ticket, this is how long it takes. It's months just to get a follow up.

Absolutely, google does that shit constantly, well known within the internet standards community

That used to be what Microsoft (Internet Explorer) was famous for. I guess Chrome has lived long enough to be the villain, but Firefox is still the hero to me.

Sorry to break it to you, but you might want to start looking at Firefox forks.

This article gives some information on why some have abandoned hope for Firefox and Mozilla. AI focus, changing its stance on selling user data, and the overall loss of focus. It's still better than most, IMO, but some of its forks better represent those who feel that way.
