Basically they had to rewrite everything just to get the same functionality? What a giant waste of everyone’s time… which is probably one of bigCo goals: keep churning, so that people with less bandwidth are forced to deal with churn instead of improving their product.

- pancrufty 4y agoThat wasn’t the intention obviously. You may call it shortsighted, but they certainly wanted to kill the old platform and start fresh. Only now we know that wasn’t as easy. In reality we should be thankful that it hasn’t happened (yet) rather than bashing the choice to keep MV2 around longer. They could very easily pull the trigger, I don’t think many will actually switch to Firefox just for that. Most won’t even know. As a product manager, I don’t know what they’re waiting for exactly.
