I get that you hate Mozilla, but from the perspective of an end user of browsers, this is a deeply irrational position. Less competition in the browser space is uniformly bad for end users, as we've seen very clearly in the past.
- Karunamon 4y agoNote that competition in the browser space is different from competition in the engine space. Even then, Chromium remains open source, we already see things like Brave committing to not shipping the adblock-killing extension changes that Google is pushing. As to Mozilla, their combination of incompetence, user-hostility, and complete dependence on Google renders them controlled opposition at best. They are not a serious player in the browser space, continuing to treat them like one is directing limited resources and mind share into a failing enterprise.
- skinkestek 4y agoMy dislike for Mozilla the non profit is rather intense but I still agree with you: nothing good comes out of playing into Googles hand here and shortening and simplifying the path they have to try to go to corner the browser market and become really problematic. I still hope we can manage to break up Google before that happens so anything that delays Googles cornering of the browser market is a win in my eyes.
