Mozilla should have pushed for the removal of these anticompetitive platform restrictions sooner and more vigorously. But with Apple, Google, and Microsoft all under the antitrust spotlight right now, it's as good of a time as ever for Mozilla to highlight how these companies are using their platforms to hurt Firefox adoption.

- psd1 3y agoI don't see that going well. Now you're fighting against big bastards with higher market share on two fronts instead of one. I don't have any better ideas how to grow Firefox user share.
- SkyMarshal 3y agoThere's nothing wrong with the FOSS agenda. The problem was Mozilla management spreading the company too thin across too many low-value initiatives, and spinning off innovative crown jewels like the Rust language and discontinuing Rust-based Servo rendering engine. Performance (and stability) is a feature, arguably the one browser-users care about the most, and being the home of some industry-leading tech on those fronts was valuable. More focus on high-value but difficult initiatives, and less on low-value features, should have been the order of the day. Instead it almost feels like the MBAs took over and they forgot they were a tech org.
