Mozilla is falling back to the old stratergy of focusing on features.
That is the wrong stratergy, they should focus on:
Without the browser engine, Firefox is dead.
Secondary priority should be privacy
Tertiary priority should be extensions, build a robust extension system, use that to add features for separate install...
Personal unpopular opinion: Firefox will die the day the first alpha of LadyBird is released. Every real geek will switch to the most unstable version of that new thing because Mozilla has been pissing us for a long time with their CEO bonuses.
So long and thanks for all the fish as they will all say.
How I long for LadyBird's first release
“We are targeting Summer 2026 for a first Alpha version on Linux and macOS. This will be aimed at developers and early adopters.”

I would pay them a monthly donation to not be sold up a river for advertising bullshit.
as long as it's good and does what I expect a browser should.
8 months
Sure it is.
ladybird is so far off being usable its not even realistic to suggest.
I've been rocking Waterfox since the whole MPL/ToS enshittification. Waterfox has kept most of the AI shit out. If I had to guess, those parts require ToS acceptance and since Waterfox can't legally grant usage to Mozilla's servers, they can't be included.
I'd love to see a true FOSS alternative browser hit mainstream and would gladly give LadyBird a try once it's usable.
Plus the features they do focus on are stupid.
Stoy for CEO!
Why don't you try messaging Mozilla with this on their forums? It's not like anyone here is a director for developing the browser and can read what you're saying to implement.
