okay, first off: hey, what the fuck?

mozilla has a A THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED MILLIONS of dollars? what were all them cookie sales for thunderbird? oh yeah, they have this shell game of interlinked but not really entities so you can play whack-a-mole till the death of the universe.

and they wanna burn it dicking around with AI? fuck each and every ghoul steering that ship into the abyss, and they can take Gnome's fucking shaman or whatwasit with them.

is everybody insane, "silicon valley" was supposed to be a satire, these cretins make mike judge seem like a prophet...

    I mean that's moreso on Apple than it is on Mozilla. They force the use of Webkit.

    Weren't they forced by the EU to allow non-Webkit browsers?

    Although by now it's probably to late. Making a app on another engine is basically a totally new project.

    I think it's rather that they're still forced to use Webkit everywhere but the EU and financially it probably doesn't make sense to port Gecko to iOS when worldwide iOS has pretty small marketshare. iOS only holds over 50% marketshare in USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland. In most EU countries it's under 30% marketshare. Android literally dominates in all of Mexico, South America, Africa, and Asia, in other words, far too many countries to list, most of which iOS has less than 10% marketshare.

    Why would you go through so much trouble for arguably such a small slice of the world's iOS market when the majority of the iOS market will still be forced to use Webkit?
