I feel bad for the people who were eliminated. The browser has been stagnating for a while now, maybe a smaller team can be more focused on making a better, more modern browser.

The mobile browser is top notch. The desktop browser has been slowly catching up with the basic innovations of other browsers.

They definitely need to find a new source of funding.

They need another source of funding, maybe cutting salaries of the Cs would work for one.

I don't think this is them focussing back on the browser, especially looking at the job listings posted in another comment. It seems to me it's just a focus on AI, probably in the hope of making money.
