Aaand internal leaked restricted bug show firefox is testing its frontend to use blink[1] ( developed by google ). I thought abc.xyz which is owned by google was an obnoxious thing to do which meant the internet began (abc) and ended ( xyz ) with google. But now its clear that it really is just them playing god. Really wondering how long till ftc breaks up google. Every fucking engine is now chromium derivative or google made. edit: added leak link. edit 2: Turns out to be fake, confirmed by mozilla employee[2]. Stupid 4chan.

Citation? (I haven’t heard anything about this, and from what I do know of Firefox I can’t see how anything even vaguely like what I think you’re describing would be technically feasible.)

Beyond that, some details about the presentation of the page don’t match what you’d expect (covered in the comments), and the terminology in the comment looks quite wrong to me too (it’s a mixture of technically incorrect, suggesting technical unfamiliarity, and overly specific, suggesting technical familiarity).
