    Perhaps the hardest part to understand and appreciate is the extent to which the people who should be fighting for these users aren't. The board of @mozilla has a lot to answer for, given their mission: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mission/ https://twitter.com/slightlylate/status/979097423510294529 …

    It's really, *really* important for web developers & others who care about the web to understand how poorly the web performs in emerging markets -- and why that re-enforces the centralizing position of top-10 native apps.

        I expect Mark Zuckerberg to be an absentee landlord of a growing empire...that's capitalism. But where's @cbeard or @MitchellBaker? The future is mobile. Where-the-AF-are-you, @mozilla? We need you in this fight.

        There will be all the "you've drunk the Google kook-aid" flack on this thread. Nerp. I work places that have serious, legitimate plans to make the web something other than a desktop-only, legacy-centric OS. So I work on @googlechrome.

        Hey Alex, I am a Mozilla volunteer who spent close to two years working on a social project for digital literacy in vulnerable neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro. I could spend days talking about how SV fails to understand the needs of the mobile web in South America. (thread)

        Replying to @soapdog @slightlylate @mozilla

        We have a lot of smartphones here but the network access is not as widespread as what people building mobile web stuff from SV and EU are used to. I'd like to see @mozilla and other foundations focusing on #decentralization technologies. (continues)

        We're really happy to have the Chrome team as an ally in the fight for the future of an open Web; if you could convince your colleagues of the importance of a vibrant, diverse and standards-supported Web that would be a big help.pic.twitter.com/Lbf9LAW1N2
