They have already opposed it, and your speculation based on your dislike of their CEO probably isn’t helpful. It’s against the open web and Mozilla has no incentive to implement this. It’s something only an ad company would be keen on.
Right now they make money from google for default search because they pay the most. Previously they went Yahoo and could go bing. They did not implement web manifest v3, so you’re insinuation isn’t based in fact. Plus, this has nothing to do with search, it is to do with after search when on a website.
I don’t think MS implemented it. It’s chromium, they just took the code base. Some browsers actively removed it, but when you’re based on chromium, you start with the code that google gives you.
MS taking a codebase and doing nothing with it logically makes no sense to imply that Firefox will purposely resource and write code contrary to web freedoms.
Whether they implement in web search is speculation, they’d be purposefully downranking companies in search for not implementing something that cost them revenue excluding their customers. It would be google vs companies, and it wouldn’t be pretty.
Either way, state your position. Are you suggesting people should roll over and take it, or move to Firefox, because all this side debate is doing nothing useful.
I use waterfox currently. If this takes off, I will browser shop until I find a browser that doesn’t implement it. If i come across any sites that don’t work, well, I just won’t use their sites anymore.
the site i mostly use is kbin and other open source/privacy respecting sties, and I doubt ernest would implement WEI on this site. Any other sites, I can do without. they don’t want my viewing? fuck them.

And when all the sites stop working?

Well if they don’t cave and stick with it the CEO can butter my loafs all they want.
