Actually, we are trading a browser from a company with a desktop monopoly and an internet monopoly for an environment in which said monopoly has ~40%, another monopoly has ~30%, an independent player has ~20%, and a bunch of smaller players (including Mobile) share the rest. And both the ~30 and ~20 are platform independent, largely FOSS systems.
exactly. Mozilla has often been great for pushing the web forward, but it's still made up of humans, so if they "win", it is unlikely to be an improvement for users or the web.
It's almost ridiculous how lucky we are to in fact have three major market-share holders with largely compatible platforms competing for our attention.
This certainly seems like an improvement to me.
