If I imagine I'm in a position as a developer / project manager / whatever working for Google trying to advocate Google committing resources to the FTP protocol in Google Chrome, I'm struggling to think of a way of promoting it that shows it will have a return on investment.
How do you display ads while someone is accessing an FTP server?
ftp://example.com/directory/file.extension can be a link in a website, where the website displays ads.
I'm just imagining some people having a conversation that goes something like this:
"The funding for this feature has been removed because we can't serve ads on a page like this https://imgur.com/20ooI9f https://imgur.com/20ooI9f "
Edit: grammar
- amelius 7y agoChrome, being a browser made by an advertising company, could show ads on ftp directory listings.
- 19870213 7y agoIn that sense, it's somewhat strange that Chrome isn't already presenting us with ads in the tab-/addressbar and the menu. Perhaps some pop-ups from the bottom and sides as well while they are at it? The original free/shareware version of Opera had that too, and it wasn't that intrusive.

- raxxorrax 7y agoMozilla certainly would like that new influx of users. I think user retention is one of Googles most immediate issues.
