That's extremely unlikely. Keeping up with modern browser features takes a very large amount of work.

That’s true but I think most people’s beef is that most of the funding for Mozilla isn’t going to that work. Wethers that’s the case or no I have no idea, but that’s the general sentiment

the CEO's pay in particular seems to have absorbed a large portion of the savings created by layoffs.

I would have agreed with you a couple years ago. But a few motivated volunteer developers and some LLMs could do it (possibly along with some moderate community funding).

This trope is so tiring.

There is a massive difference between Google for enterprise customers and Google for consumers.

The consumer offering is massively subsidized by ads and will use your data for ad placement, although they still never sell your data because that would hurt their business.

The Enterprise offering guarantees you contractually that they never touch your data.

While I also find it annoying, the alternative of just rolling over and being desensitized to it is much, much worse.

If we're going to be wrong, I'd rather be wrong by being overly cautious than overly trusting.

In this case, they wouldn't touch your data but their AI safety system would also prevent you from accessing it!

What do you think their security model will be trained on? That's right, other people's data.

Except if the authorities anywhere in the world or valuable partners politely ask for it, yeah.

Or if they eventually get "SOTA" AI and it breaks out of it's sandbox trying to do whatever the MBA has told it to do.
