Oh, that's all, is it.

Yep, you're right 1 hour max /s.

Browsers are the most insecure attack surface of any aspect of modern computers. Apple's s/w is built using standard engineering decision-making - can we rely on X being there ? Why yes we can, so we can delegate this function to that system framework which we've tested is all secure.

Except that all breaks down when someone installs a 3rd party browser. Now the security model of the system depends on the security model of the installed browser, and that's just not acceptable. It may be the user's fault that they installed but you can guarantee that Apple will be holding the can at the end of any argument over why their nudes are now all over the internet.

If I come to you and I say you either take a new position with a worse title and decreased pay or you can fired, and you choose to resign, is it fair to say you simply "quit" rather than were forced out or kicked?

Yes.

I'm not the OP, but I absolutely think this is the time when things start to go seriously wrong with the Mozilla orgs.

Eich stepped down in 2018, the problems started in 2012/2013, and came to a head in 2014 with the change in plug-in architecture. The two are absolutely and completely unrelated, and I just assume anyone who conflates 'woke' with Mozilla's problems is a complete and utter moron. By 2018, Mozilla was circling the drain.

He resigned, he wasn't forced out. And even if you argue that he was effectively forced out, it wasn't by 'some wokes in the Mozilla Foundation,' there was substantial public outcry and it was harming the Mozilla brand. Boycotts were in the works.

He perhaps WOULD HAVE been forced out, since Mozilla is a business, and Eich quickly became a poison pill. If you appoint a CEO that results in boycotts and lost profit, and then you remove him, are you being 'woke'? Or are you being a capitalist?

He wasn't forced out, and the reason for his ouster was common sense as applied to the bottom line. Not 'woke'

If this were because of 'wokeness' then Brendan Eich would have gone on to make a better browser. He did not, he made Brave instead

I understand that you're not interested in making coherent arguments, you're only here to spew nonsense, but since I've commented on this thread I can't mod you down, so I'm replying instead. Don't feel the need to respond, I won't take you seriously :)

They focus on things that don't matter, and they try way too hard to copy Chrome. I've been using Firefox for as long as it has existed, and it has been getting worse for years.
