Firefox competed against fairly successfully against Microsoft for a decade.
They still spin off massive amounts of cash -- they just piss it away on their foundation, and not improving the product.
- rchaud 4y agoNo they didn't. Microsoft was just asleep at the wheel. The difference between an incumbent who doesn't care (MS) and an upstart that cares (Google) is easily visible by how rapidly IE market share crashed after Firefox arrived -- and then later, how FF crashed as Chrome grew.

My recollection was that Microsoft had stopped innovating on IE6 almost entirely during that decade, right? Or at least for the few years that enabled Firefox to get a foothold. > They still spin off massive amounts of cash -- they just piss it away on their foundation, and not improving the product. Hard agree on this. So many side quests when the main quest is not done.
