<playing role="devil advocate"> one can also read between the lines that firefox emerged at the internet bubble time where the most pressing technological issues was to "provide safe access and facilitate flows of information" (outside commercial tools).

This is still relevant today but we also have new technological issues with AI models an conversational assistant and even crypto (if only to avoid the scams). In that sense, Firefox/Thunderbird is not enough.

@sirber @bohwaz @gdupont @ploum What they're going to do is fix all the memory leaks, gigantic allocations, and useless CPU churn and then replace all that with a background process that turns your computer into a processing cell for an AI and bitcoin mining operation.

You won't notice. Sort of like SETI@Home except you're actively using your computer at the time thinking your computer is actively working for you.

All browser development teams have been secretly working this plan for decades.
