&lt;rant&gt;<p>They used to be good when they started. I only care about what they do with and to the technology. Whoever is on their team doesn&#x27;t concern me.<p>My current issues with Mozilla&#x2F;Firefox:<p>- Caving in with adding DRM support, which contradicted their principles because, duh, otherwise users would hop to Chrome to watch Netflix.<p>- Dropping relatively sane sync-1.1 in favor of sync-1.5. It&#x27;s as proprietary Firefox-specific solution as it only could be, with internals being a terrible mess I can&#x27;t call anything but over-engineered. And after more than an year it&#x27;s still insecure. And they purportedly removed UI for self-hosted sync.<p>- Promoting Persona&#x2F;BrowserID, contributing to the very wrong concept that someone&#x27;s very identity is their account with a third party (email or domain address, as leased by email provider or domain registry). Good thing they put this on hold.<p>- Simplifying UI where it&#x27;s unwanted. Say, just recently the &quot;green lock&quot; UI was crippled to the extent it doesn&#x27;t provide any useful information anymore. To heck with &quot;secure connection&quot;, I can see this in the address bar already.<p>- Bundling more and more stuff into browser, like it&#x27;s a new Netscape Navigator.<p>- Gradually showing more and more &quot;hints&quot; and &quot;useful tips&quot; all around, without means to opt out once and for good. Like that annoying popup at the bottom of the &quot;top sites&quot; page on Android (the only UI to disable is about:config).<p>- Starting to add non-opt-in analytics&#x2F;tracking anti-features (Adjust on Android release builds).<p>I feel that those things are not in favor of end-user personal freedoms, but were introduced just because marketing thought they&#x27;d look appealing to the audience - who doesn&#x27;t care about the mission and other stuff that Mozilla likes to mention - or necessary to keep market share. It&#x27;s just my personal perception, though. I&#x27;m by no means objective here.<p>&lt;&#x2F;rant&gt;
