Chrome Won
I agree with this blog post. But I don&#x27;t think Mozilla lost.<p>I worked for Mozilla for a few years, after seeing John Lily (CEO at the time) speak. It was right after Chrome started getting popular, and a smug person in the crowd asked him about how he felt about Chrome.<p>John&#x27;s response was awesome. &quot;This is the web that we wanted. We exist not because we want everyone to use Firefox, but because we wanted people to have a choice&quot; Firefox was a response to a world of &quot;best viewed in IE&quot; badges, and it changed the browser landscape.<p>Now, we have options. Chrome is great, but so are Safari, Edge, Brave, Opera and Firefox. There&#x27;s a lot of options out there, and they&#x27;re all standards compliment. And that&#x27;s thanks to Mozilla.<p>So, in my mind, Mozilla won. It&#x27;s a non-profit, and it forced us into an open web. We got the world they wanted. Maybe the world is a bit Chrome-heavy currently, but at least it&#x27;s a standards compliment world.<p>I hope Mozilla sees that. I hope they take credit, and move on to what&#x27;s next: privacy and net neutrality. Our privacy is under attack, and Mozilla is one of the few companies that can (and would want to) help. I know, I know. Nobody cares about privacy. Nobody cared about web standards, either, but Mozilla bundled it into an attractive package and it worked. It&#x27;s time for Mozilla to declare victory, high five the Chrome team, and move on to the next big challenge.<p>We really need someone to fight for our privacy and neutrality. And I really believe that this could be Mozilla&#x27;s swan song.<p>-----<p>EDIT: Hey cbeard - My email is in my profile; I&#x27;d love to talk.
