Yeah Mozilla, wasn't it you who lended credibility to those pay-as-you-go wannabe "standardization bodies" W3C, WHATWG in the first place? To give us our modern web of shit nobody wanted, and where nearly every bit of the tech stack, from HTML (WHATWG), CSS (W3C), HTTP (IETF) was foobar'd by Google via their puppet organizations? That the HTML 5/WHATWG "process" and CSS is anti-competitive crap and unproven as a spec is already evident by no new browser engines having been coded from scratch; in fact, both Opera and MS (!) stopped development of their browsers due to completely and utterly unwarranted complexity.
But you Mozilla stood by cheering, and taking Google's money, alienating your user base and sinking money into side projects instead.
Calling for new antitrust law seems just a multi-year detour to keep the status quo when there's an enforcement and bribery problem: how was Google able to acquire DoubleClick and YouTube, and Facebook to acquire WhatsApp with Zuckerberg basically lying to most governments in the world?
So you want a law to force Firefox onto iOS, including its inferior and power hungry rendering engine? Personally I'll be returning to using Mac OS later this year (after having used iOS the last three years), specifically to get away from the crap that fscking need-to-restart-now FF, and the frustratingly stalling or regressive PC hardware and O/S landscape has become.
