With just a few days’ notice, Mozilla terminated my employment this month after leaving me hanging on leave without explanation for several months. My discrimination case against them therefore enters a new phase after this wrongful termination.

Hard agree. Apple’s ecosystem is primarily completely closed-source. If you abandon them or they abandon you you’re left with nothing. At least with open source-based projects like Chrome/Firefox you can fork the code and not have to start from zero against a goliath. Apple would never give its customers that kind of leverage.
Oh we care, but there’s no alternative besides Chrome and Safari and those companies are even worse (Google definitely is, anyway, Apple is debatable)
Luckily there’s still alternatives like Librewolf that unfortunately still use Mozilla’s browser engine.
I do hope the Servo project will be ready to use in a production browser soon.
Apple is definitely just as fucking terrible.
