Thias sounds similar to the situation with web browsers. In theory they're built on open protocols. In practice whatever chrome wants will eventually be where things go.
- marssaxman 2y agoThat may be, but I'll only find out what that is when Firefox implements it...
- andrewla 2y agoExcept that Chrome itself emerged as an "alternative implementation". We had Mosaic which lost to Netscape which lost to IE which lost to Firefox which lost (ish) to Chrome. And in the mobile space things are still kind of wild. If anything Chrome is an exception to the article's "Alternative Implementation Problem"; what started as Konquerer, an alternative browser, eventually mutated into the most common desktop browser currently in use.
- ikari_pl 2y agoit's like this only because nobody except me seems to prefer Firefox
- kreddor 2y agoOh, I use it as well, especially on Android where it has proper support for extensions.
- gary_0 2y agoI don't use Firefox because it's Firefox, I use it because it's not Chrome.
- chillfox 2y agoI had to stop using Firefox because it kept using all the memory on my machine. So I am using Edge now.
