Choose Firefox Now, Or Later You Won't Get A Choice (2014)
&gt; Unlike Apple and Microsoft, Mozilla is totally committed to the standards-based Web platform as a long-term strategy against lock-in.<p>This may sound great in theory, but I have serious doubts that Mozilla can deliver on that. At least from my perspective, their decisions in the more recent past have been erratic at best. They even happily implemented DRM when everyone else was doing it. At the moment it feels like Firefox is just copying what everyone else is doing, slightly worse.<p>And even if Chrome &quot;wins&quot;, it&#x27;s still open source, for the most part. If Google abuses their power, then the thing will be forked and their hole user base will be split. I&#x27;m pretty sure Google doesn&#x27;t want that.<p>If you want to worry about something, worry about Google controlling Android. They already implemented lock-in there, it&#x27;s a huge pain to fork in any reasonable way (see CynogenMod) and they control &gt; 85% of the market. But sadly, Mozilla failed here quite spectacularly, because they simply didn&#x27;t have the resources for it.
