And the thing is that diversity in the browser engines is really important and we lost it. Google is in a position to dictate what can be done and what can't because rveryone uses their open source but not opem to contribution rendering engine V8

The PWA thing does not require any 3rd party addon... Its just natively there. The install button is to install thr PWA...

@BentiGorlich im running FF 119 on arch. Vanilla, no addons.
And no PWA.

If I search for "Firefox use PWA", all I get is 'Install this extension" or "compile that add on".
Sorry, It's simply not working.

If it comes to open source but not open to contribution: How is FF different? You can't contribute there too.
And FF is less evil because there's not a Corp behind it? Sorry, but that's Bullshit.

If it steals my data and keeps an open backdoor to my system I don't care if it's a Megacorp or a small Foundation. Backdoor is backdoor.
That's non negotiable.

Ok, then I missunderstood you. On desktop I have no clue. My screenshot was taken on Android and there I don't have to install anything else to have working PWAs...

Lets just part ways here and agree to disagree. I won't change my mind about chrome beeing far more evil and you won't change your mind about FF beeing just as evil.
For me the corporation part makes all the difference. And even if Mozilla does shady stuff too, it will always be less evil to me because its a foundation.

@BentiGorlich Chrome IS more evil than FF. That's out of question. I wrote it earlier somewhere.

Let me give you a different metaphor:

If you get mugged by the Mafia, or by an unorganized small group of muggers doesn't make a difference. You are still getting mugged. It's the same crime.

The difference in size makes no difference in the crime itself.

I just refuse to say 'I prefer the small group of muggers because they just try to feed their kids'.

Both deserve to be hit by law and thrown to jail.

The difference is, the Mafia needs to be hit by international law enforcement, thile the small muggers can be overthrown by a group of citizens and held until police arrives.

Yes, Google is more evil than Mozilla.

But they both are committing the same crime.
