Nope. Google. They are on their way to corner the browser market. They've already killed Operas Presto and about every other engine except research engines and Firefox.
Chrome and the way they pushed it with ads on the front page of Google [1]. The way Calendar and YouTube again and again has issues with Firefox.
Or how some things just doesn't work in anything except Chrome - but hey, if you change how the browser identifies itself, suddenly other browsers work too.
[1]: no one else, even disaster relief I thinkhas been allowed a spot there. The market value of weeks in that spot must be billions.
- theonlybutlet 3y agoThe get out jail free card is that the engine is open source chromium, not actually held by Google. Others are free to use it.
- skinkestek 3y agoSeeing that they already nerfed ad blocking possibilities in Chromium before completely killing Firefox, what do you think they will do once it is completely gone? Those who use Chromium - either end users or browser creators who build on Chromium - are dependent on the whims of Google.
- AlchemistCamp 3y agoOn this timeline, “completely killing Firefox” never happened. I used Chrome for a few years, but FF has been my primary browser since 2014.
- LegitShady 3y agoFirefox zombie here, never noticed it dying. Firefoxs problems are generally things Mozilla does to itself.
- anonymousDan 3y agoI use Brave and I think it is great fwiw.
