What a terrible argument. I really don’t understand how people don’t see the negative effects of browser monoculture. I feel like I’d just be rehashing the same old points :(

Which argument? Firefox is dying, it's a fact, watch the marketshare over time.

Were you referring to my proposal on github?

I was, yes.

Sorry but what's your alternative? I understand that it does not please you (I actually think that mozilla merging with chromium would be a good thing and we disagree on that)

But you can't disagree with my plan? It would mean you have an alternative (you probably don't), or that you wish that the trend continue and that mozilla die (you don't actually wish that)

Google can't even get its own house in order. Working with web brokenness is all to do with Chrome monoculture these days. You have to make crazy workarounds even for electron-based apps.

A monoculture inherently creates fragility and inflexibility without the need to compete or collaborate.

Chrome removing ad blocker functionality is one reason why Mozilla is sorely needed.

Unfortunately, people don't realize that they are the product with Google, and ever more invasive spying will always the norm with them.

Dont drink the Kool-aid.
