They turned Mozilla into Mo$illa by paying them to remove XUL and other features. They cripple competition like Waterfox and Pale Moon by serving up outdated html and give them harder captchas. They even got Microsoft to chromify their browser. I repeat my calls for a truly independent browser foundation that tells Google to get lost.
Over 20 years since IE started coming bundled with Windows in a deeply integrated manner. There will be outbreaks of IE malware for years due to the fact so many buisnesnesses only supported IE as their web browser. The same thing will happen with the widespread adoption of chromium instead of developing multiple independant browsers to ensure web diversity. Now Mo$Illa had been bribed to downgrade their browser we are now in the era of adverbrowsers and will contain more ways to attack your browser due to the constant bloat being added to them. Prepare for the Wannacry decade powered by ChromIE.
Modern webExtentions are neutered by design by the advertising industry funding Chrome and its puppet Mozilla. Even Pale Moon is neutered by blacklisting of extensions.
Along with either Waterfox, Basilisk or Pale Moon. The quality of XUL addons are still superior to Webextentions. You can even Get Mypal and run them on Windows XP. Classic OSes deserve classic addons.
With all the leaks ot Edge that occurred it is obvious that they are letting people have it officially after the cat was let out of the bag. If it wasn't for the leaks they would probably wait until//Build/ to release them. My opinion is the Edge isn't for Slashdottters who use Firefox or it's clones, it is for the people who still think the Blue E is the internet. Giving them a half decent browser is better than letting them still use Internet Explorer which hasn't had engine updates for over six years now. With Windows 7 looking to be widely in use after the official end of support date, having Edge available instead of of IE eases the pain of web developers. Getting Internet Explorer off the public internet and only being used in enterprise intranets should be a priority for the web.
Linux on the desktop has been promised on the desktop for over 20 years now. Microsoft knows it can get away with abuse and you accept that abuse by refusing to fix problems in Linux. In fact Windows XP despite being unsupported for five years now still has more market share than Linux. What does that tell you that people would rather use unsupported Windows than Linux.
Try clouding/chromebooking/tableting CAD and Video production and you will get laughed out of the office. I use an iPad for bedtime web browsing, but my real work gets done on with a proper keyboard and mouse.
Stop adding bloat to the specification that just adds more ways for advertrackers to steal your hardware resources. If I was in charge I would go back to HTML4 with just the video tag added.. All this bloat makes browser engines complicated which is why everyone is just cloning chrome instead of making their own engines.
They basically enabled fake news to flourish by letting alternative voices get deleted as "undue weight" or "not notable". Back up your favorite articles on W3c.org, because the deletionists will be coming.
Because of jumping on bandwagons like this. Every one wants to have a maling list these days, filling up our once spacious multi gigabyte inboxes which we thought would never fill up.

But because “it’s on a plane” it’s news.
Or Will Microsoft not give us this option?

It’s called twm. Still works the same after 30 years.
Even one of the wiki’s admins was in on the scam.
They couldn't even give you a car other than in black. We will let newer companies take its place.

Mozilla will admit that removing XUL was a mistake. Until then, there are the usual forks to use.
Or will I still have to make do with Vigor?
People are already using in their millions illegally, just make a legal version for home use already.

Make it easier than piracy and they will come. It’s 2019 I should be able to stream any video ever made on any device.
Mostly rented Nintendo 64 games. It is now a coffee shop.
The crash is coming and fast.
It would save a whole load of hassle if Microsoft just went straight to 1903 and put 1809 in the archives where Windows ME and Clippy got put.

Every other release is a prank and the other one is the serious release. They broke the cycle with Windows 10 though releasing two pranks in a row.
Apple TV, News, Games, Phone, Music, (Soon) Car all paid with an Apple credit card. Soon there will be Apple mortgages and health care.

It's revolutionary, I call it a "Job".
