That's a bit dismissive. Firefox was / is a browser that provides an alternative to IE / Chrome / NameYourFavoriteProprietaryBrowser. It is worrying that Mozilla seem to be forgetting why they are strong... But in my view thay still represent the better side. I would love if they didn't include Hello and similar, but I hope thay come around and make the right thing.

It may sound that way because I summed up alot of history in a few sentences. In truth there was more going on (AOL and Google had some hand in it too) but the bullets points still tell the cusp of what happened without the delusions that have been projected on top by it's fans or journalists.

That's not to say there is no value in the manifesto, in openness, in innovation or whatever. It's just not likely what gave it all of it's downloads.
