@jwz disagree. I know many ppl that would or could not use Firefox if they hadn’t and like this it’s a viable alternative. What do the gazilion Mozilla/netscape/firefox or chromium forks/alternatives do for the open web because they disable drm or replaced / removed other functionality? Not much.

@fl0_id @jwz compromising on principles means you don’t have them. Which means you’re left with no way to distinguish yourself from a crowded marketplace. Which means you’re competing with price. That works poorly when your competitor is a free loss-leader establishing a moat for a different, related business (not even looking at said competitor’s financial ties to Mozilla). So with principles and price off the table, how is it competitive at all? Mild technical differences, and branding. Might as well have folded up shop instead.

@docRekd @puercomal @jwz yeah that is often my feeling. That said strong positions and demanding more is important. But I feel like some people are too much consequentialist, if you are not perfectly right in sth you are wrong. And at least for me, then I will be wrong most of the time, as I certainly don’t manage to care about all just causes that I think are important equally or even most of the time :/

@fl0_id @docRekd @jwz my issue is not with compromise — I have a long career in enterprise software, quite familiar with compromise thank you :)
