I remember seeing some of this stuff when it came out and thinking “why are they doing this?” A bunch of it I never heard of, and a handful I wish had seen success (Firefox OS). Not sure how this counts as a hit piece, it didn’t seem mean spirited and definitely didn’t seem to be misrepresenting anything.
I’m not saying it’s a direct hit piece but it feels like people are being incentivized to write articles that paint Firefox in a negative light. Also I think a lot of these were attempts at making money outside of Google
