Not shipping WebReplay in firefox (instead it's a startup called replay.io),
Killing the servo project.
Running metaverse projects instead.
Yes, mozilla could do better.
- mrguyorama 3y agoThese are all things that the average user doesn't even know exist "Power users" aren't most of anyone's user base. The vast majority of people use chrome because google told them to, because google IS the internet
- Kuinox 3y agoWebsites arent made with firefox, so they are not optimized for firefox. They also can be buggy, firefox is my daily browser, yet, multiple times per year, a website is simply bugged on firefox. Google Chrome was recommended by power user, and that how they took the market lead, not because they are the internet, but because power users told regular users to use chrome.
- mrguyorama 3y agoI have never found a website that is broken on firefox that isn't also non-functional on chrome. What does firefox break?
- Reubachi 3y agoFolks mistakenly associate "breaking" with "not being completely compatible with an illegal streaming website with improper TLS/cyphers." That's just an example but you know what I mean. Those are the types of websites that have issues with firefox, because mozilla maintains it's own root trust store held to various standards/compliances, and many..less savory web addresses use not HTTPS content on their HTTPS pages. This is a feature/value added bonus, but because it "breaks" sites for people....back to chrome.
- Kuinox 3y agoMost are due to the firefox tracking protection. Others (with everything disabled) were for an airline company, some french governements website, and recently an SVG editor that just call to use chrome and doesn't works on firefox.
- 878654Tom 3y agoGoogle massively advertised Chrome at the start with banners on Gmail, Search,... telling you you should download it. Powerusers don't shift the market.
- ndiddy 3y agoGoogle also paid freeware application developers to bundle Chrome in their installers.
- pessimizer 3y agoSomehow they managed to have a huge market share when Microsoft was fighting tooth and nail in courts and out to tell people to use IE, and Microsoft WAS home computers.
