Firefox saying that now would have no effect, since they successfully managed to piss away approximately their entire market share despite going along with bullshit like that to not lose market share. Firefox saying that back when they had meaningful market share would've incurred significant cost calculations for everyone contemplating just throwing away the entire Firefox market.
- JoshTriplett 3y agoYes, I agree. They should have fought it tooth and nail when it was proposed, and held out as long as possible. But if sites were willing to do it anyway, despite losing substantial numbers of users... I would have liked to have seen that theory tested, but it may or may not have worked.
