    • Mozilla Has a New CEO. Will This Change Things?

      Mozilla's gotten itself a new CEO, and the outlook seems much the same, with an emphasis on AI being baked into the browser. While most folks on the ethical side of the argument (like Waterfox and the derivatives) lean towards no, the more pragmatic might find this as a net positive.

      Overall, the focus is on growth, and the fundamentals, at least, seem good.

      Where do you stand?
