I've been reading HN since its birth and have been in the browser game for 25 years. HN, as a collective, shit all over Firefox and Mozilla for a decade while Google, who was never going to to anything but this, did just this. Good job.


You mean the same browser getting paid by Google to maintain it as the default search engine? The same organization that relies on those payments as majority of income?

This isn't to shit all over Mozilla, this is to highlight that browser choice is irrelevant here, this is not a "war" won by installing another program.


There's not necessarily a contradiction here—both companies can be completely screwed up at the same time.


I think the intent and scope of their failures is orders of magnitude different in terms of their impact on society and the free Internet though.
