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

When the mobile web is largely WebKit/Blink-centric and when few mobile users install another browser, it's a hard market to break into. When you're a comparatively small organization with a comparatively small marketing budget, how do you go about it?

But that is not in and of itself sufficient; when browser sniffing gives users worse experiences, when websites break because of non-standard WebKit/Blink features being unsupported… features almost never make up for this.

Well, if anyone still listens to you, can you relay that we need them? It's an emergency. The web is failing for the next billion users and platforms don't get a seat at the next table if they're irrelevant now (see Fire, WatchOS, TvOS, Android Wear, etc.).
