   yes.

14 years on and still haven't found a way to make themselves any less independent of Google's money. >90% of their revenue derived from their direct anti-privacy competitor makes them entirely on life support.

Rust was their opportunity to escape that, now they just threw it away and now they are back to where they started.

Firefox is in decline. Nothing has changed.

Mozilla gave all the Rust trademarks away and the opportunity to create a consultancy out of Rust (Since that has taken off) has been completely ruled out - which may have been a way out of not depending on Google's money fo 90% of all their revenue.
