    Firefox has been on a very obvious fade to irrelevance. Plugging our ears simply doesn’t change it and almost nobody cares what Google does with Chrome.

    This isn’t 2008 where Firefox ran so much better than IE.

    Unlike the opinion author’s take, I’m optimistic that their renewed focus on privacy might be their best near-term shot at increasing revenue. At least it beats their Pocket acquisition……
