Whoa. Apple is picking up where Mozilla’s ball dropped, but with a massively better chance of success.

Cheers to whoever is running this show.



Mozilla dropped the ball on this? They never had an opportunity to do this. Apple will only succeed by bulling developers that want to stay in the AppStore. Mozilla doesn’t have the market share or financial leverage to do anything like this.

Precisely. There was very little incentive for websites to adopt it at the time; Apple has a lot more power.


They tried, they didn’t have a way to force it on companies. Not sure how that’s considered dropping the ball?


Tim Cook and the Board of Directors, no? Of course there will be other who initiated and are spearheading the effort to include in the cheers.
