    No, it isn’t.

    I have been hearing this shit for 20 years.

    Google pays mozilla to keep it alive so they can side step anti-trust laws.

    I hate to break it to you but google already dominate the web.

    FF is not going anywhere.

      Did I ever say it was going away?

      MySpace still exists. You can still log into Myspace and use it. Same is true of Livejournal, ICQ (last I checked,) and many other bygone services.

      They’re not going anywhere either. But they’re still useless outside of edge cases.

      I want Firefox to succeed. But I’ve also been watching it lose relevance for the last 10 years. I’d prefer it not to go the way of MySpace because its users are too stubborn to admit that it has a problem.

        well, you keep worrying about it.

        I and the rest of us will keep using it.

        Let’s check back in 5-10 years.

          “The rest of us?” I’ve been using Mozilla since it was a thing and I used Netscape back when you could buy it.

          Caring about a project means recognizing risks. But I guess we shall see. Firefox, a Chromium based project, perhaps. Like Edge, Opera, etc.
