Caveat emptor is always better than a petty dictatorship.
And that's what Moz is being these days; emulating the Apple App model, the Windows Phone app model, and other obnoxious "you have to ask us permission to do stuff on your device" rules.
Id rather take toolbar hell. We'd have more functionality overall.
- Spivak 8y agoOf course you would rather take the toolbar hell. Because you're not the one who will be installing random toolbars. This is really no different than saying: "I'd prefer that when a company that has to make a decision that affects millions of users they go with the option that's best for me" What's somehow worse is that you can literally have your cake and eat it too -- just install Dev or Nightly, you're exactly the advanced user those branches are targeting.
- the8472 8y agoBut you can't effectively write useful addons for everyone because you can only hand them to dev/nightly users. Mozilla is saying "your contribution is not welcome due to US laws" to people who don't even live in the US.
