it should be "We need to focus on the browser" -> lays off employees and pushes feature requests to the open-sorce volunteer community to fill as they see fit.
Firefox should only exist to be a standards-compliant browser (not part of the Google ecosystem). It should not be using Google WebExtensions or a Google manifest. Anything beyond the bare minimum of compliance with the W3C's published standard should be a community made addon or plugin.
Addons are important though, and they fucked with developers quite a bit in the past. Making the developers start over again is probably going to piss them further.
Oh, I agree. We're past the point of no return now. Our only hope lies in Ladybird. I'm holding out hope for that engine, though only slightly.
