Mozilla is on Googles drip. You can't expect this feature seeing much love it's against the donors intents.

  And that drip is just as important for google to avoid an insanely huge monopoly lawsuit, so this is just the usual shitting on certain open-source projects without any reason.

    How true is that these days? I see it mentioned a lot. Google doesn’t have to keep them afloat just to avoid some hypothetical anti monopoly issues.

      Truer than ever. What other browser engine is there beside safari on macs? Not even Microsoft found it worthwhile to maintain an independent browser engine - in this world firefox is an open-source gem and instead of bringing it down for whatever reason we should try to preserve it.

        Google is currently facing a search monopoly lawsuit where their payment to Mozilla is being used as evidence against them. If they were funding Mozilla to prevent a browser monopoly, the strategy certainly backfired.

    Not the parent poster, but is criticizing a browser I've used steadily since it became a thing for letting itself become primarily funded by it's largest competitor really "shitting on it"? Do you really not think there is a conflict of interest there?
