I don’t understand why Microsoft are still in the browser game. It would be like continuing to make mobile phones or mp3 players which they also lost a long time ago.
- GoblinSlayer 6y agoAt least it sends your passwords to NSA skipping Google.
- wayneftw 6y agoYou don’t think that Google is an NSA front?
- whywhywhywhy 6y agoWhat would you suggest they do instead? Because if they don't roll their own around Blink the answer isn't going to be "Ship Firefox" because if you actually ask all your users and developers "Just ship Chrome" will come out way on top. Not saying I agree with it but thats reality. I'm more disgusted by the browser mono culture than most and how so many engineers recoil when I bring up their work isn't functioning at all even in browsers like Safari let alone Firefox and they consistently make snarky comments like "We should just tell them to use Chrome". > It would be like continuing to make mobile phones I mean, they are https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/devices/surface-duo https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/devices/surface-duo
- rubyfan 6y agoi’d suggest they stay out of business they can’t be successfully at. if your strategy is to ride the entrenched windows desktop vs. make an awesome product that people love then you will lose in the long run.
- whywhywhywhy 6y agoYeah. ok but what browser should they ship instead?
