Mozilla is accusing Microsoft of using Windows design choices and Copilot integrations to steer users toward Edge and make Firefox harder to use, raising fresh concerns about browser competition and platform control.
I’ll agree that their mobile experience is not great, they don’t support tablet layouts for example, but it still has the best support for ad blocking. I consider that essential for the modern internet.
My big concern is that we’re repeating the Internet Explorer issue all over again, where the web is coded for it instead of standards. Now Google has the ability to strong arm the Internet by not adopting standards, pushing their preferences, etc. Web sites are being coded coded to run on better on Blink than Gecko so it gets worse all the time. If we give up on Mozilla the Internet will fall even further into the hands of big tech.
