On: FirefoxPWA: Progressive Web Apps for Firefox

[butz]

How hard would it be to work together with Mozilla to ship this functionality in Firefox officially? Their excuses not to work on SSB (that's what they called installing web apps to desktop) were: 1. "no perceived user benefit" and 2. "feature is costing us time in terms of bug triage". Evidently, some users and developers find mentioned feature useful, because many projects like FirefoxPWA exists. Get other projects that are trying to achieve the same goal on board (Web App Manager from Linux Mint comes to mind) and everybody wins. As an added bonus, Firefox might even increase their user base a little.

Sometimes it is hard not to think that this is part of the deal with Google:

Mozilla gets $500m - in theory for having Google as the default search engine - I reality to just to not challenge Chrome.

Anyone have a good explanation for why this isn't true?

The burden of proof is on the person making the assertion. Newton didn't say, 'F=ma - Anyone have a good explanation for why this isn't true?'

Otherwise, all we'll do here is disprove conspiracy theories and propaganda.
