Any article about Firefox and it's relevance that doesn't strongly highlight the "David v. Goliath" nature of what it's up against -- and implies that it gets developed in roughly the same way and for the same purposes as its competitors -- is dumb at best and dangerously misleading at worst.


Mozilla was getting $50m from search to develop a browser that gained market share. How is that different from the goals of Google or Microsoft?


$50M is tiny compared to how much Google invested in Chrome. That barely pays 100 engineers.


Then maybe Mozilla should move to Europe where they can pay 5x engineers with that money :)


I don't know what's worse about this response, the backwards causation logic or the bad math.
