Almost nothing noticeable has changed with Firefox for years. A couple of minor features here and there, and just keeping up with standards. It does seem pretty excessive. Definitely seems that Mozilla has become massively wasteful and misguided over the past ~15 years.


That’s actually the point. An army of people are keeping up with standards so things just work. I’m curious as to what it looks like when only certain browsers are maintained.


New standards do not get adopted that easily? One can dream...


That's one of the main problems with Google controlling not only the top browser but also the rendering engine behind most of the competition. They don't have to care about standards at that point. When they do, it's mostly to put a veneer of openness over their operations.
