Google is laying off employees at Waze (www.theverge.com)

Google is laying off employees at Waze. The company is moving Waze over to Google’s ads system, and that change will mean job cuts at Waze. Google folded Waze into its Geo group in December.

Waze had strong user base... Kinda like Firefox

Google tried killing firefox like other browsers but just couldn't. Then they realized some degenerates just prefer using Firefox no matter how much better optimization for chrome is.

So then they just Firefox for default search

Helped in the long run, as they would be 100% monopoly on android and windows now... Instead of 90% currently lol

Just some interesting trivia, firefox handles static web pages way faster than chrome. You're kinda forced to use JS just because chrome (chromium) owns 90% share of web browsers market.
