Firefox used to be on top of the world with almost a third of all internet users using Firefox. These days, they make up a pitiful 2.7% of the market share. What happened? In this video, I want to show how Mozilla’s terrible management and decisions have brought this once beloved browser down.

    Let’s see if Mozilla will use opportunity that Chromium browsers soon switching to Manifest V3 will provide

    Considering that FF has not leveraged its opportunity to implement JPEG-XL ahead of Chromium, I doubt it, considering how simple and easy of a W that would’ve been.

      Didn’t Chromium drop support for it?

        It never supported it, afaik. They were talking about implementing it, but the creator of webp used his sway to shut it down. Firefox followed suit stating the same dumbass reason: “Not enough industry interest”. There was plenty of industry interest, it was just Google didn’t want a competitor to WebP. Safari announced they would implement JXL support and now we’re here. I hope Google and Mozilla get the message.
