If you believe Google blocked Firefox for competitive reasons, how would you explain - The Google engineer's explanation (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8495498 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8495498) - do you think he was just plain lying? - The Firefox performance bug he mentioned (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1087963 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1087963). Do you think Google engineers went out of their way to search for new performance bugs in Firefox, then figure out how to introduce those bugs in Inbox's code? - If Google wanted to use Inbox support to hurt competitors, why would they invest engineering resources in making an Inbox app for iOS? Considering that Android vs iOS competition has much more impact on Google's business than Chrome vs Firefox competition (e.g. see how much Google pays to be the default iOS search provider).
