For several years now it has seemed like every notable change in Firefox has been about removing a reason to use Firefox instead of Chrome. (There are certainly reasons for the opposite case, including but not limited to the fact that every single website is certainly tested to work in Chrome.)
Now, I've been using Firefox as my primary browser since before it was called Firefox, and I'm quite used to it and unlikely to switch to anything else, but boy are they (at the Mozilla Foundation) trying hard to make me.
- Valmar 6y agoOne could almost hazard a guess that Google has people inside Mozilla deliberately sabotaging the browser, to drive people to Chrome, while keeping Firefox around for the sole purpose of avoiding anti-trust lawsuits...
- trulyme 6y agoNot sure why you are being downvoted, this seems like a pretty plausible explanation. Certainly better than any other I have seen.
- Ygg2 6y agoGoogle doesn't need to do that. Between mozilla's management and general hard, thankless work developing browsers. For instance, Chrome loses to Edge and Safari, on metrics like memory or power consumption. Does that mean Apple and Microsoft have infiltrated Google Chrome team?
