   Stay away from the lucrative then? Why did you ever think it was a good idea to start at Google? I don't think Jesus would have approved.

      I recall when Google was the exciting bleeding edge frontier

      Then came so much money, and by being chaotic evil even more money..

      Still makes me sad. I was so sweetly naive

         roc used to work for Mozilla though, and witnessed Google cannibalizing us for Chrome in order to feed its ad business. Between then and now there has not been a time when it wasn't all about the money.

            Uhhh have you tried having a better browser? Chrome won because Chrome is faster, and I write this on Firefox.

               That depends on your definition of winning. Some of us couldn't give a rat's ass about speed, and for me Chrome lost because it's not an user agent (as in agent working for me, the user) anymore, it's a Google agent (as in working for Google to spy on me, the user).
