What do you expect from a company indirectly owned and controlled by Google money?
I can't wait for Ladybird to get good, in a decade realistically, swimming against a massive current of Google pushing its unstandardised nonsense on Chrome, and web developers jumping on the bandwagon, making web standards more and more complex by the day so no one ever is able to catch up.
You can add to the dead internet theory the fact that the Web is now maliciously impossible to recreate and access from scratch if you are unable to compete with the billions Google spend to maintain their hegemony. Heck, even Microsoft found it was more efficient to join Google rather than to try and direct what they laughably call "an open standard." There is more competition to build reusable space rockets than in web browsers.
A sad day, and sadder days await us. Shame of Mozilla, and on the CTO trying to sell this feature as a good thing.
- berkes 2y agoThey aren't owned nor controlled by Google. And certainly not directly. I presume you refer to the fact that most income of Mozilla comes from Google paying a fee to have their search be the default. While that is worrysome, it's not control nor ownership. Let alone direct control. At most it gives Google leverage.
- cdrini 2y agoThe previous post said "indirectly" controls; maybe a misread?
