Sounds like some MBA bros and broettes infected the company. I'll stick with it now but it's easy as fuck to change browsers these days

Is it? Switch to what, exactly?
Just remember... when you have a business degree, you are qualified to run any business. That's what a business degree is for.
Hire as many glorified bean counters as you can to run your business..into the ground.
As bad as this is if true (and it's abhorrent), is google really any better with how they continuously treat their employees and their produc--er... customers?
Nope, google sucks at everything. Plenty of other browsers though that are based on chromium and hopefully not as shit as chrome. I'd need to do some research.
But supporting chromium is supporting chrome, which supports google. Not directly, of course, and certainly better than direct chrome, but the underlying methodology is identical. The ff management that caused this to happen should be blacklisted (I'd even support them imprisoned over this). However, knocking ff completely out (including any browser built on it) is not good, imo, as it strengthens Google's chrome's/chromium's hold on the browser market, creating a true browser monopoly. Right now, chromium is open source, but if google becomes a true browser monopoly, how long do you think chromium's FOSS status will hold? I'm going to venture, not very long. I just never thought I'd have to choose between evil and more evil when selecting my browser...
It's kinda like supporting them but as long as the browser isn't force feeding me ads, stealing my data, or trying to get rid of ad blockers, I'll live with it. Definitely don't want to get rid of Firefox but I'm having a hard time understanding why shit like this article is happening at a non profit.
I agree. If ff becomes for-profit or starts actively treating the browser as for-profit, it's only a matter of time before it becomes just as bad as google. Worse, even, since they were once actually good and their turn to the dark side will be perceived as an ultimate betrayal.
