My comment isn't directed at Mozilla, but other vendors as well. IMO you loose influence by adopting lots of other vendors' tech, whether it's WebP, Dart or asm.js, even if it is open. I'm curious what the tech community thinks of innovation at Opera now that they adopted webkit/blink. Perception is important.
- azakai 13y ago> IMO you loose influence by adopting lots of other vendors' tech That shouldn't be how it works, and I don't think that's how it works. Good tech is adopted by other browsers all the time, just look at WebGL, WebRTC, Web Audio, and this isn't only recent but goes back to XMLHttpRequest and before. There are lots of specific issues and questions regarding every new technology. Those things matter, not a general "we lose if we adopt a tech another vendor proposed" approach, which you assume here.
- rayshan 13y agoI agree. I hope I'm wrong and I certainly hope the best tech win in the long run. Now looking at history of WebRTC, which was also initially drafted by Google, I have hope.
