Here’s hoping that happens, but it still won’t fix two things: Firefox is kinda weird and clumsy on mobile, and it’ll still need attestation if that’s implemented on key websites as a hard-barrier to usage. I’m now on Android (I alternate between the two, so next cycle will be Apple), and even as a highly technical type I don’t sideload on there anyway, so I think few will sideload on iOS either.
Probably, which gives more ways to collect data and still uses WebKit underneath.
While you are at it, convince Apple to allow Firefox on iOS, and decline to use WEI in Safari. Otherwise there’s no way to avoid WEI on iPhone, and only one mainstream rendering engine free of this insidious malware. Many companies will shy away from it if it breaks mobile apps on the Apple platform.
I run Chrome to use work (Google) email and services, and Firefox for as much as possible. The challenge is that about a 10% of things I use only work properly on Chrome. It’s IE6 all over again, history repeating itself.
Register your own domain name with Gandi and they gift you free email with a choice of two webmail interfaces. It’s really good, and owning the domain name enables moving to a different provider later if you wish.
Hardly surprising since they were acquired by Google.
