Yes. Google has been blocked on chinese great firewall for quite a long time. That's why their android phones have special China only models. Normal android phones are utterly crippled in China.
UI designers. Unification of UI is a long term goal for companies that want to people to find that their product on mobile and desktop looks and feels the same. That reduces the learning curve for novice users.
We can see a lot of this in both Chrome and FF, which since mobile revolution simply removed most options that used to take vertical space, because on mobile, screen space is on massive premium, unlike on a desktop.
Lowest common denominator drives this development.
Considering the changes usage numbers over years, people that go to Chrome are unlikely to come back. Even to shill.
Few if any people like to torture a dying, suffering horse that served them well in the past when they're riding a new healthy one just for the giggles.
This plus the add-on extinction event they had when they decided to just randomly drop jetpack add-on support "because our new engine just doesn't support them any more".
Pale Moon has its extinction event earlier. Already killed jetpack add-ons, for no reason other than "well other people should just remake their add-ons for us".
It went from solid alternative to firefox to firefox-lite with serious problems due to ridiculous engine change with all the same "developers full of themselves telling everyone else to change to fit their idea on how browser should work"-problem.
That was actually back during Cordoba Caliphate and Ottoman Empire.
Something that residents of young nations like US really don't understand. Civilizational warfare is measured in centuries and millenia. And right now, it's another time when muslims have the upper hand. We're still in a much better situation than, say, in 1500s.
You know, long before you nation ever came into existence.
Considering that most of the world lives by the same principles as before, and state of some Western countries in this regard is a massive outlier, I'll readily take that bet provided we agree on large enough statistical sampling. My own opinion/analysis is that current state is actually a reaction to female employment. This is on the rise world wide as people realised that it's actually very economically efficient to push women into employment. It drives the costs of employment down for men, as women compete with them. This does however accrue what is essentially a social debt within society, which generates destructive impulses among both sexes. We're observing the effects in most feminist of Western societies already, where social costs (which are essentially interest on aforementioned social debt) are starting to eclipse economic benefits.
My point goes well beyond the current "toxic feminism" debate, and well into how our species is actually designed by evolutionary process to work. Again, there's a reason why both me and you have twice as many female ancestors as we have male ones.
Again, studies do not support this view, and support the opposite view.
The likely reason lies in the fact that we cannot deny our own biology. Males in our species exist to provide for females, while females function as selectors from pool of available males for who gets to procreate. That's why all of us humans living today have twice as many female ancestors as male ones.
In that case, you should start getting ready for divorce. There are several studies that find that if women are more wealthy than their husbands, divorce rates spike sharply.
Overwhelming majority of people in those workplaces are staunchly anti-gun and anti-second amendment. I follow a few gun channels on youtube, and seen grassroot level interviews with people who used to work in those companies talking about the issue. For example, apparently there is a small pro-gun group in google, but it's constantly under pressure.
Between the fact that current ISA is actually AMD64 (which is x86 compatible, but not intel-designed) and the fact that many key patents should have expired by now, it's going to be interesting if intel has the legal bass to actually stop this from happening.

Read my original statement. You managed to confirm my point in its entirety without ever realising it.

And CTR is one of the add-ons that have been nuked and are not coming back. This functionality is gone post add-on apocalypse.

Good point. There are always the masochists who enjoy pain.
The key reason for this is unification with phone browsers. "Everything should look the same across devices".
Obvious problem being that this means that everyone gets the lowest common denominator across all devices and loses as a result.
Phones. Two separate bars take too much space on a phone.
This plus the add-on extinction event they had when they decided to just randomly drop jetpack add-on support "because our new engine just doesn't support them any more".
"Based" on something doesn't mean it is something.
And that engine is one of the main culprits with ridiculous compatibility problems Pale Moon suffers from even on major sites.
It's because they have manufacturing capacity to sell phones specifically tailored for each niche and still remain profitable.
The exact opposite actually. The relevant question is "who do you NOT want to get pwned by?"
Reading the statement in context will help you comprehend it.

The question will be simple: "Who are your direct competitors?"
If they're american, go with the russian software. If they're russian, go with american.

This went to a very dark place, fast.

I wish you the best of luck in your representation of the more positive minority of the statistical reality.

It is a good thing, alongside all the anecdotes, until the owner class finds itself and its anecdotes on the guillotine.
And then goes "but why didn't they just eat cake?"
Did you already forget the recent "pewdiepie is a nazi" debacle?
