Hi,
I'm the author! Thanks for the feedback. Some notes:
1. I do realise Mozilla is not first and foremost a tech company. But I do feel that it accomplishes its mission - driving towards an open web - /through/ technology.
2. I have FF for Android; it's a great browser. I don't use it generally. I'm definitely glad it's available and appreciate having the choice.
3. Agree about Chrome, and I note as such in the article (in fact a Chrome developer has commented on that point in the Medium article).
I definitely think Mozilla having a strong browser is important. I don't want Mozilla to stop working on Firefox, I'd just rather it move into a maintenance mode with focus on a few key features and improvements rather than what appears to be change for the sake of change - and the extra effort going into Thunderbird.
Your points about email fragmentation are perfectly valid - but the same was true of the web until there was some really great client software to help drive innovation around them. That's what I think/hope could happen with a stronger Thunderbird.
I love Firefox and it's still my primary browser. I can't see myself changing to anything despite the exhortations of my peers and colleagues. I love everything about Mozilla so please keep up the great work!
- nsm 12y agoThanks! What about Fx for Android prevents you from switching? It would be great to have that data.
- trog 12y agoMostly momentum. I have a bunch of mobile bookmarks already in place. I'm on an N4 which is starting to show its age; it's old and crusty and I'm trying to keep it as stock as possible.
- nsm 12y agoAlso, it seems I don't understand Medium, but I'm unable to see any comments there, or even find some button that says 'comments'. Do I have to sign in to even read comments?
- trog 12y agoThis was my first ever Medium post and I don't really get it either. As I look down the page I see little comment icons with numbers in them that I can click on and expand out. Not sure if they are publicly visible though..?
