Mozilla is the maker of the famous Firefox browser which has been using its own web engine called “Gecko” since forever, and hence, is not affected at all by these moves from Google.
You answered your own question. It doesn’t effect FF.
But, I do agree they should use the downgrade in functionality of V3 as a point for advertising FF.
that’s also probably a factor in why they don’t say anything, big moneypants might say something
What good would advertising “Still supporting Manifest V2” do for your average user? They also wouldn’t want to openly advertise that “Your ad block still works with us”.
Didn’t they remove XUL extensions to make their extension interface compatible with inferior chrome web extensions?
I just did a quick online search and it seems like the reason for removing that was that it was way too much work to maintain and stopped them from implementing performance improvements for Firefox. Apparently it was also a lot of work for extension developers, since they had to update their extensions constantly.
That’s just what I read tho, I wasn’t there when XUL extensions where still a thing.
Mozilla is silent about Firefox in general, not just about Manifest v2 and v3. I assume there is nothing new to report. Mozilla already stated somewhere they will support V2 and the extensions will work as before. But I don’t understand why Mozilla does not use this moment from marketing standpoint to market the Firefox Extension Manifest V2 the hell out of it.
Don’t they need to pay the bills if they don’t want to get in antitrust investigations?
That check is going to run out sooner, rather than later
Because it doesn’t make sense for all Firefox marketing material to be how shit chrome is. Save that bullshit for American president elections
It will be exciting to see Kamala and Trump debate whether Gecko or Blink should be the industry leader.
Kinda off topic, but I find it weird that Kamala is usually referred by first name, and trump by surname.
I think it’s because that’s the more distinctive part of her name. “President Harris” sounds kind of generic, like the fictional president from an action movie.
It may start to constitute a pattern that the same was true of Hillary Clinton, though in that case it was likely that just saying “Clinton” might cause confusion with Bill.
Also Bernie Sanders is mostly referred to by his first name, so…
Not saying anything bad about chrome is probably in the contract they have with Google which is most of their income
Nah I doubt, it would be a huge lawsuit if google was found to pay competitors for staying quiet about their flaws
Mozilla should spent money to advertise(Is this right? I don’t know verbs fuck) a flaw in Chrome? It’s not like the public cares about it.
"We really can’t rock the boat on this Google money "
