Lots of negativity in these comments surrounding Firefox and Mozilla&#x27;s direction with it.  I&#x27;ve been using Rust, a Mozilla product, quite a bit recently and have even contributed to the project.  I am throughly impressed with Rust, the language, the ecosystem, and most importantly the way it&#x27;s maintained by Mozilla.  It&#x27;s an incredible gift by Mozilla to the community at large, and for that they&#x27;ve earned a lot of respect from me.<p>I agree that Firefox&#x27;s performance is quite bad these days, but Mozilla is already working on that (with Servo).  Pouring more devs into it is not likely to make progress on that front faster (too many cooks).  They could have taken a more gradual approach to the problem, by slowly evolving the existing codebase, chipping away at performance.  But they&#x27;ve been trying that for a long time.  Servo is, in my opinion, the better plan.  And with it also comes a massive security hardening.  It&#x27;s a long road, but one worth waiting for.<p>So, Mozilla has already dedicated the necessary resources to handle performance.  What are they to do with the rest of their company&#x27;s resources, and most importantly, what can they do to grow the company?  Firefox Hello and other projects like it are part of that effort.  We may not agree that Firefox Hello is a good idea.  Personally I don&#x27;t have a use for it either.  But bless them for trying and experimenting.<p>And let&#x27;s not forget that Firefox is a &quot;free&quot; product.  I can&#x27;t imagine Mozilla is swimming in money.  They don&#x27;t have the resources that Google or Microsoft have, and yet they still have a solid chance at leap-frogging their competition with Servo.<p>Personally, I continue to use Firefox as my daily driver, because it appears to respect my privacy more than Chrome, despite its performance issues.
