    This is stupid and can only be to obtain more Google money. Firefox is becoming Chrome. Hello Pale Moon

      Mozilla keeps up with Google’s spec to reduce the amount of work to adapt extensions to work on Firefox. Google changed their spec and Mozilla is following it minus the ad block nerf. How is that supposed to make money for Google?

        The comment was probably about mozilla getting money from google. But I think google couldn’t care less.

        For Mozilla this is kind of a win-win situation. Extensions have to be modified anyways to support chrome, the new format actually improves security and they will have a clear advantage over chrome because adblock isn’t a nice-to-have feature but an actual requirement for a modern Webbrowser.

        also it’s not like they have many options unless they want to transform both browsers into some incompatible thing which needs its own developing structures to work
