> the only remaining ethical web browser
I hate associating ethics with technical debates. Chrome didn't win by being ethical, it won by being better. Plain words cannot save Firefox from losing its market share. I know battling against tech giants is hard, but appealing to ethics will only lead to hostility for some people.
- tomwheeler 3y agoI'd argue that it "won" (read: achieved the majority of market share) because it was relentlessly pushed by Google, the search engine with the majority of market share.
- maerF0x0 3y agoWhat if the ethics come at a performance cost? Then you have to lead with what you value (and hope the market agrees)
- cycomanic 3y agoChrome won by being unethical (and continuing to do so), for a while every time you visited some Google site you were bombarded with "switch to Chrome" banners. At the same time they often artificially slow down Firefox on Google sites (see e.g. the recent news about some code on YouTube)
