That's pretty optimistic considering Firefox's current marketshare. Based on its momentum I'd say in 10 years, at best, I expect it to be where Opera was before it became a Chromium fork.
For now Firefox does things better than Chrome but I don't expect them to keep up when it becomes a community project. It'll be like using Opera used to be.
- benwaffle 11y agoHopefully servo will be merged into firefox within 10 years
- bobajeff 11y agoI doubt that would change anything. Even after spending tons of money on marketing and making big changes to the browser, Internet Explorer never reversed it's drop from 90% to 50% marketshare.
- cozzyd 11y agoI imagine Firefox's marketshare dwarfs both vim and emacs
- bobajeff 11y agoYet another reason why you can't compare the situation with Firefox and Chrome to Vim and Emacs.
- criddell 11y agoDidn't Firefox just announce that future plans include moving to Chromium?
- criddell 11y agoI went back to see if I could find where I read that and it was here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/04/11/future_of_firefox_is_chrome/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/04/11/future_of_firefox_is... But since that was published, another article was published: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2454466/mozilla-is-dabbling-with-experiments-in-chromium http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2454466/mozilla-is-... So there was no announcement, just some experiments.
