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 …

I expect Mark Zuckerberg to be an absentee landlord of a growing empire...that's capitalism. But where's

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

Your argument would carry a lot more weight if you also argued for Android to come pre-packaged with alternative browsers. You *know* how nearly impossible it is to get users to install a non-default browser without a billion $ in marketing, especially on mobile.

If you're willing to elide the success of
@UCBrowser, the argument makes sense!1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
I didn't say it was impossible, but you also picked a very well funded browser. You ignored my point though. I think it's a pretty big problem, and if you're gonna call others out, it'd be nice if you called that out, too.

The one about the Mozilla mission? I saw it. I still think it's goofy to ignore the incredibly strong pull of platform defaults. And I'm pretty allergic to brick throwing from glass houses. Google has done a lot to make it harder for other browsers to succeed.

Now, I know a lot of folks at Google are doing a lot *for* the web and in cooperation with other browser vendors. It's not a uniform thing. But you cannot ignore the very negative things Google has done, too. So knocking others without knocking Google is... Weird.

I'm calling out the scale of the opportunity and what it's worth (to all of us) to execute well. OEM software is A Thing (TM) on Android; where's Fennec?

Meanwhile, UC has been out there winning the word-of-mouth market Mozilla used to revel in. Seems like a product/focus/mission issue.

You're not wrong, but, again, ignoring the way in which your company hinders that goal while you knock a much smaller org.... I want to find a way to tell you how screwy that looks, but I'm not really getting through.

And I say this with the utmost admiration for Google generally. I don't know of other companies that have been this dedicated to open while also being the dominant player.
