Too bad Mozilla also thinks the same way.

Nice conspiracy theory. I wonder if Mozilla execs are in on it.
- mtomweb 4y agoMozilla seems to have come around with WebMIDI, so thats a good step in the right direction. The functionality is not limited to device APIs, it covers every aspect of the browser. See: https://open-web-advocacy.org/walled-gardens-report/#hobbled-competition-even-within-safari-clones https://open-web-advocacy.org/walled-gardens-report/#hobbled... and https://open-web-advocacy.org/walled-gardens-report/#missing-functionality https://open-web-advocacy.org/walled-gardens-report/#missing...
- dmitriid 4y ago> Mozilla seems to have come around with WebMIDI And yet, we are in a thread about WebBluetooth. Both Safari and Mozilla have the same stance: until a proper solution for privacy issues with hardware specs is found, we oppose them. For WebMIDI it seems Mozilla has found a solution they are happy with. I wouldn't hold mu breath for others. The links you provided assume Mozilla is in on Apple conspiracy, too. It's also a very one-sided take which completely ignores the elephant in the room.
