It looks like Mozilla is chasing tech buzzwords, but are always a few steps too far behind to actually do any impact.

It looks like Mozilla is chasing tech buzzwords, but are always a few steps too far behind to actually do any impact. Why not focus on what they are doing best (i.e. browser, email)? There's still plenty to do, Firefox keeps crashing both on my desktop PC and Android phone, now Thunderbird is abandoned. IoT market is full of big players with vast amount of resources and saturated not less (if not more) than smartphone market, I don't see how they gonna compete there. As for OSS, Linux is doing great and keeps doing better in IoT scene[0], why not merge efforts? I appreciate Mozilla's efforts, but lately it lacks focus and clear goals. Maybe some fresh blood would help? We will explore and prototype new use cases in the world of connected devices as an open source project with a clear focus on the user benefit and experience. ..yada yada, sounds like a buzzword filled marketing crap with no substance whatsoever[1]. 0. https://www.linux.com/news/embedded-mobile/mobile-linux/8180... 1. https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/p/5/005/04f/263/04c1eb8.jpg
