I see a lot of people shit on Firefox for integrating LLM-related features. What the blog post points out and people fail to recognize is that if Mozilla stopped maintaining Firefox, almost all of its forks would die.

You're misreading why people are shitting on FF. It would have been nice if Firefox had actually worked on literally any other features in the last decade, like not trashing support for PWAs. Instead, we got nothing but stupid partnerships with companies for features not one wanted, and a succession of failures in the CEO seat of Firefox.

So, yeah, I guess I don't think it"s realistic for Firefox to have ignored the LLM craze entirely, but man, they could have managed that Google money better.

No? Most app versions of web frontends are a wrapper for a pwa (teams, zoom).

Ff dumped pwa support a while back, and it has only just come back.
