Firefox drastically bleeding market share
nmharleyrider:
I switched from Firefox to Chrome because I hate that Adobe Flash Player. It locks up my machine. I cannot believe Firefox has not gone to HTML5 yet
TaoPhoenix:
Well, they seem to be *overly* "focused on their market". Yes, at the expense of everything else.
Unfortunately, they made decisions on "who is important in their market".

If enough people genuinely care (and are sufficiently motivated to do something about it) there's a "simple" solution:
It's always an option in the FOSS world. 8)

I don't know why everyone's surprised that Firefox's market share is dwindling. This is exactly what is expected to happen when a company turns its back on its founding mission statement and becomes what the company founders professed to hate...and was the reason why they founded the company in the first place.

Reminds me of the "PC Revolution(tm)"
Instead of dumb terminals we have Windows 10 phones and tablets with central control of system updates etc..
I was watching a documentary about open source and Richard Stallman was telling why he and his colleagues did not even like login passwords. He felt whoever was at the console should have total control. So when administration set up passwords he decrypted them all and sent everyone on the system an email suggesting that their password(and he put their password in the email) was a bit long to type and subject to typos so why not just change it to the Enter key? Apparently quite a few people did.

Funny how spot-on and prescient Stallman is about so many things. Far from being a cynic, he is now beginning to seem almost like an optimist. Because the emerging reality we now live in is far worse than the most dystopian one even he imagined.
A prophet is always without honor in his own country.

So, as I said in another thread... Renegade is a prophet, not a cynic, and one day that will become obvious. :huh: :-[ ;D 8) :Thmbsup:
