Also I cannot see how this has anything to do with my point.
- Ygg2 6y agoProbably a list of oopsies, i.e. making Google services work with things that aren't Google Chrome. Even if they are the same bloody thing inside. Your point was Mozilla could be a strong voice in WebStandards? There won't be any standards. It will be whatever Google does.
- polycaster 6y ago> Your point was Mozilla could be a strong voice in WebStandards? Yes, kind of. One among multiple strong-ish actors. So Google would have the Edge team and Mozilla against them. My reasoning was there would be more counter-weight than with Mozilla doing their thing while slowly being marginalized. But perhaps I was too optimistic regarding the world's dependance on Google Services (or rather as the worlds perceives it). Independently of this hypothetical scenario I hope (and still belieive) there are still enough circles remaining which aren't that much associated with Google Services to sustain a user base for alternative products. Rainbows and unicorns again...

Rainbows and unicorns again... At this point, I think the only hope I have is that EU, basically does a successful anti-trust lawsuit, or if someone invents something else that destroys Google, in the same way mobile destroyed Microsoft's grip on computing market.
