Well, 99% of "the Internet" is the web, so a free web browser is the vital part in that. And not some tool about "remixing HTML" or open badges or something [1]

- smabie 6y agoWith mobile native apps, there's no way that 99% of the internet is the web. Video accounts for 60% of total web traffic, and a good chunk of that is not through a web browser, I'd imagine.
- ofrzeta 6y agoI think most access to video is through the browser as well. Why not make Firefox the #1 Netflix platform?
- tvshtr 6y agoyou're insane, average mobile user won't use a platform unless it has an "app". Companies purposely push users with intrusive popups and half or full page overlays into their apps, or just block access in some way

That's why they've tried in the past (and hopefully continue to do so) to provide resources like you're pointing at to "the public" to build and create their own special place on the Internet. Something outside the gated ecosystems of those big internet companies (Facebook, Twitter, etc). Have they gotten it perfectly right every time? No, but that's okay, and it's good that they're even trying because not that many people (or companies) are.
