We plan to run programmatic research to reduce risk in decision-making so that users benefit when our stakeholders translate user insights into product development.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Edit: I see the point of studies, which are not needed. But especially, feeding users stuff their stakeholders want, is a crazy thesis.
Their users are their biggest stakeholders, arent they? Or is it Google?
That phrasing tells me its Google.
They’re going to be doing more A/B testing.
It means they want to use telemetry to understand which features are used, to change how they deploy features. Since it’s related to investment I wouldn’t be surprised if it means more intrusive stuff like Pocket rather than their subtly irritating changes to bookmarks being worked out better.
I don’t need feature developement streamlining based on user surveillance. I need options to disable features which are built based on a serious user feedback system if I don’t need them.
Best thing about Floorp is how it lets you swap between layouts of the browser itself to me
No matter how stupid the management is, I’ll still use FF over Chrome. Even so, Mozilla is lost in their own bullshit. That “workshop” is like some crap from kindergarten. Just make a good browser ffs. They can’t get it through their thick skulls that the browser isn’t the destination, it’s the means to getting there.
My only gripe about this is that they’re not committed to being open. Literally every link from the UX team is locked behind a login.
that’s cool, try making a better browser tho
In which ways do you feel Firefox should be improved and what would you prioritise?
Kinda love it how Mozilla went from being about a good browser to a corporate sponge for Google money. Truly enshittified.
