One could almost hazard a guess that Google has people inside Mozilla deliberately sabotaging the browser, to drive people to Chrome, while keeping Firefox around for the sole purpose of avoiding anti-trust lawsuits...


Not sure why you are being downvoted, this seems like a pretty plausible explanation. Certainly better than any other I have seen.


Google doesn't need to do that. Between mozilla's management and general hard, thankless work developing browsers.

For instance, Chrome loses to Edge and Safari, on metrics like memory or power consumption.

Does that mean Apple and Microsoft have infiltrated Google Chrome team?


Depends. Is Chrome team actively working on making their browser worse?


Is Firefox? It definitely doesn't seem so.

The more options you support the harder is to fix/change things.
