Also from Jamie Zawinski yesterday: Mozilla’s Original Sin
Some will tell you that Mozilla’s worst decision was to accept funding from Google, and that may have been the first domino, but I hold that implementing DRM is what doomed them, as it led to their culture of capitulation. It demonstrated that their decisions were the decisions of a company shipping products, not those of a non-profit devoted to preserving the open web.
Those are different things and are very much in conflict. They picked one. They picked the wrong one.
fair, it’s been a while since i used it, but when i did it was utterly useless on anything except apple products, which doesn’t make it particularly useful. Things may have changed though
things did change, they no longer even offer it for anything except apple products, so if you want to use safari on windows it’s 11 years out of date, and any other OS is just a full on no. So yeah, i’d say we’re back to firefox as the only real alternative.
