Thanks for the info. Can you suggest something I can read that summarizes Mozilla’s mistakes?

  I have nothing like that on hand, sadly. I was there to see it, so I haven't had a need for a chronicle of sorts.

    So does this history of misdeeds actually undermine the points they make now in the Five Walled Gardens piece?

      I admit I haven't so much as glanced through their rant/essay, not the least because I don't value anything Mozilla has to say anymore. Assuming Mozilla is talking about operating systems and how they mandate or encourage their own in-house offerings in lieu of third-party offerings, I'd say Mozilla is being a hypocrite. Firefox usurped IE6 at a time when all odds were against them, and Chrome today continues to overcome all such factors at play (only Android has Chrome as the default browser). Mozilla's very own history demonstrates that operating system lock-ins do not prevent an eventual change in the browser market leader. So yes, I would say their history of misguidance undermines their own arguments. Mozilla has an inferior product, which once was a superior product, and they are now groveling with pedantics because they can't once again ship a superior product (specifically, superior to Chrome) to reobtain market share. Whatever Mozilla wants to say or is saying here, they are the words of a loser who does not understand why he is losing, made even worse because the loser was once before a winner heralded as the saviour of worlds.

        “I admit I haven't so much as glanced through their rant/essay” Okay, thanks for the info, but I’d be careful with the word “rant”
