"If Google loses, they will have a slightly smaller search monopoly and a browser monopoly."
It's my understanding that this case will continue to evolve as it goes forward and so will the possible remedies. I think you are assuming the best case scenario in a loss for Google.
Mozilla doesn't factor into this for me. They have been making missteps for years. The fact that they have become totally dependent on Google rather than finding other partners and business models is on them. Live by Google, die by Google.
While Mozilla has made some progress on the browser quality, the reason they are loosing the browser market is 1) the browser just isn't as good as Chrome (I've tried to love Firefox) and 2) Google is spamming Chrome on all its platforms. This lawsuit may resolve #2, but only Mozilla can resolve #1.
- CivBase 6y ago> the browser just isn't as good as Chrome How do you figure? Firefox is my browser of choice on both desktop and mobile.
- MacsHeadroom 6y agoWell for one, FireFox frequently breaks on non-standards compliant tech industry standard business critical Google web apps. Outside the work context, leisure time is regularly frustrated by FireFox struggling to render pages or load videos on Google owned YouTube.com as well as they do in Chrome. This seems to happen a few days each month for the past 8 years or so. Therefore Chrome is clearly the better browser. /s

- corford 6y ago1). is very subjective and I think depends quite heavily on what platform you are using it on. FF is my daily driver on Windows and I much prefer it over Chrome (which I also use frequently).
