Firefox moving to GitHub: A win and a warning.
Today Mozilla moved Firefox’s development to GitHub. Good? Yes—easier contributions, better visibility, and access to modern CI/CD via GitHub Actions. It lowers the barrier for community devs, which Mozilla needs.

But it’s also a philosophical shift. Firefox now relies on a Microsoft-owned platform, which feels ironic for a project rooted in decentralization and user freedom. Independence is traded for convenience.

While the move may boost momentum short-term, it subtly signals how even the most open projects bend toward centralization for survival. A smart choice, but a bittersweet one.
