The mission-driven tech company behind the Firefox browser, Pocket reader and other apps is now investing its energy into the so-called “fediverse” — a collection of decentralized social networking applications, like Mastodon, that communicate with one another over the ActivityPub protocol.

    Yeah but Google won, they became the biggest and now can do whatever they want. Unless Mozilla gets close (and I dont think they ever will, even remotely), I dont think they’re in the same situation. Until then I kinda just root for them to survive and exist as competition, even if they have such a small market share compared to google.

      It also took several years of utter dominance before they started to drift into their current monstrousness. It’s not just that they won, but they also stayed winning.

      Even if Mozilla don’t have a huge marketshare, they were behind Rust language. :)
