Getting mocked by Mozilla employees for my post.
This is a good thing. Mocking is a sign of hitting a nerve.

@thomasfuchs @Migueldeicaza Is it now impossible to write a low overhead, compliant browser? There seems to be an utter lack of browsers focusing performance and low footprints
@janl I think it's one of those places of work where people strongly identify with the organization, and take criticism personally (even when it isn't).
I hope they channel the anger they feel about the latest backlash (I've seen many other posts) and maybe learn from it. But who knows.
@thomasfuchs I think there is a rather big gap between what Mozilla looks from the inside and how they are perceived from the outside.
That causes employees to balk at criticism like this. But that’s a Mozilla problem, they need better PR to show the world what they are actually doing rather than chasing trends and putting all PR on that to chase the hacker news/reddit press
@larsmb I agree, there should be more choice than two giant tech companies and a company that's entirely dependent on one of them.
Public funding would also be great for various other infrastructural and foundational open source software.
@thomasfuchs A lot of it boils down to "Browsers are a bad business model".
Given how browsers however are a, if not the, single most crucial way how people interact with the open world, this seems like it should be funded by society at large as a public good.
@da5is @Migueldeicaza Safari does. https://webkit.org/blog/15249/optimizing-webkit-safari-for-speedometer-3-0/
@thomasfuchs @Migueldeicaza I find it odd that the platform with the least need of optimization (ARM on Apple) is the best w/r/t this aspect. Wish there were better x-platform option.
