Mozilla are in a no-win situation:
- implement the standards and they get blamed for dancing to Google's tune
- don't implement the standards and people quickly drop Firefox because it doesn't support "the modern web"
The only way Mozilla can compete is to play along. So it's better they do that and take the criticism than ending up obsolete through stubbornness.
- vadfa 5y agoMozilla could've banded together with Apple to refuse to implement things (Safari doesn't implement many of the things Google proposes).
- RealStickman_ 5y agoSafari has nothing to loose by standing against Google. People on iPhones will still (have to) use Safari. Firefox stands to loose the last few percents of browser market share they have.
