"Baker said that the firm resisted the move because it wants to build products that people 'love', and added that using standards that are encumbered by patents does not support this."
That's not at all what Mitchell said. She's said pretty much the opposite, that resisting this standard which is patent encumbered does not help us build products people love.
You really should read the actual posts by Mitchell and Brendan if you think that's "what's wrong with Mozilla" because I'm pretty sure Mozilla's doing the opposite of what you seem to think it's doing.
- eridius 15y agoI did read the post... when you linked it an hour prior to this comment. In any case, this is the first time I have ever seen Mozilla seem to understand this issue. Back when it first arose, they were championing user rights, while at the same time producing a markedly worse user experience, and they did not acknowledge this problem. What's worse, it was pointed out time and time again that Mozilla, in their rush to throw their weight behind "open" technologies, continued to support Flash (a distinctly closed technology) and, in fact, were forcing people to use Flash as a workaround for Mozilla's lack of support for open standards.
