I'm trying to put myself in the headspace of thinking Mozilla is more morally bankrupt than Microsoft but I'm really struggling with it. I suppose that some people believe this means Microsoft marketing has done a good job of rehabilitating their image over the last 10 years.
- ZanyProgrammer 5y agoMy guess is that there's a fair amount of politics behind such a statement. The kind of politics that has to do with SJWs, Eich, etc rather than any purely technical engineering decisions.
- froggertoaster 5y agoYou are quite perceptive. Yes, I find the ousting of Eich to be extremely distasteful. I haven't used a Mozilla product since. Can't speak on the SJW thing though, I have no "anti-SJW" feelings in general, esp. as it relates to Mozilla.
- colesantiago 5y agoMozilla is more morally bankrupt after taking Google money and letting the rise of Chrome going unchecked.
- jfk13 5y agoDo you know some magic formula that would have enabled Mozilla to halt Chrome's "unchecked rise", given the behemoth that was pushing it? Despite having only a fraction of Google's resources, Mozilla continues to develop a competitive browser that provides a realistic alternative to Chrome. But it has never had access to the sort of channels and budget that Google used to promote its browser. (Of course Mozilla has made its share of mistakes. That's an inevitable part of attempting to do anything in this world. But "morally bankrupt" is not a description I recognise.)
