In fairness, the second method should probably be implemented with an e-fuse. That way once it's paid, there's no taking it away.

I think OP's point is that they're trying to think adversarially about whether such incentives exist, not implying that they actually do. It's a good thought experiment with a claim this large - to see how the claimant would

I don't know much about the first one, but the affiliate codes I'm fine with. A browser company that tries to monetize in ways that doesn't weaponize my info against me is much preferred. That said, I can't personally se

Edge is based on Chromium now, has been for years. Wouldn't be a leap to have TPM enforcement here too.

What you're saying is all true, but speaking strictly, the security of the web as a whole is endangered if proposals give entities the tools they need to chip away at that freedom and interoperability bit by bit. That was the intention

Expected, but meaningless if we can't drive people towards Firefox and away from Chromium products. That's something of a responsibility we all have, especially those of us invested in the safety and security (collectively, trust)

Pay is generally correlated with accountability, not so much work. To your point: lazy managers would suffer an accountability hit if something goes wrong with their teams (burnout etc), so that's the incentive for them to manage their
