It depends what "diversify" hides.

Do you mean:

  • Work on ethical projects that don't scrape user data
  • Stay away from trendy buzzwords like VR and AI

Or do you mean

  • Buy a data-harvesting company along with all the private data it harvested
  • Inject the data-harvesting company's code into your browser, along with some extra ads
  • Create a website content generator that'll create soulless slop for SEO spammers?

Because right now, Mozilla has chosen the second route. The anti-privacy, anti-ethical route.

If Mozilla reaches the logical end state, will it even matter if they still exist? They'll be soulless corporate trash too. There won't be anything worth preserving.
