It's predictable that Internet companies stop being benevolent when their growth has ended, everyone will move elsewhere and it'll happen again in a few years.

I still haven't figured out how this works, Tumblr smashes the page to 1/3 the screen and displays stuff I don't care about in the center 2/3.

I'd also say in a healthy society you should be seeing a larger spectrum of ideas and more things you disagree with.

WeakAuras also had an import/export feature that was widely abused in a similar way.

The Mac/Linux Firefox ports have never been good, their success was unearned and they were quickly replaced when a competitor came along.
Re:What Is the Point of Mozilla?

Mozilla lost because they sat on their butts for 10 years under Eich and lost their technical advantage. Firefox got sandbox and multi-process features in 2016 that IE8 had in 2009, they were happy to crash and lose every Pwn2Own before that. Being semi-nonprofit they can't secure any talent so they fake being like Google by blowing money on social activism and rebranding when they're not siphoning it to buy each other's start-ups.
