Firefox already captured the developer audience, and it wasn't enough. So they pivoted to whatever they thought of to increase mainstream adoption. That is really alienating that developer audience though.
- sethops1 7mo agoFirefox had mainstream adoption in the Firefox 2 era, before Chrome launched. What drew people to Chrome was that it was fast, efficient, and did I mention fast? Unfortunately all browsers today seem to have forgotten how important that is.
- zitterbewegung 7mo agoThe whole purpose of Chrome is to have google search by default in people's browsers. Once they have a large market share nothing else really matters. If people truly cared about speed Google would have changed it already.
- acheron 7mo agoWhat drew people to Chrome is that Google leveraged their search monopoly to push it, and paid other software to sneak it into installers.
