The Fakespot feature within Firefox known as Review Checker will shut down on June 10, 2025.

There goes the only feature that managed to move my wife towards a gecko based browser. l guess it's Brave for her now.

Mozilla acquired it two years ago. Bastards.

Most Mozilla products don't cover their own costs. But if there ever was a loss leader to get people to use Firefox, that was it. Lockwise could be this way too. Their lead in PWAs with Prism was fantastic, they squandered it.

And how tf did Mozilla fail to profit from their VPN when they could market it right in their browser?
