Comment Comment by pauljohncleary Extensions are a form of vendor lock in, Google were killing Mozilla in that space because:- network effects (chrome is more popular than ff)- chrome extensions are so much easier to write than XUL ff extensionsNow webextensions are implemented in FF, it's incredibly easy to port extensions across (I ported one earlier this week, took about 20 minutes!)Tree style tabs and all that jazz aren't going away yet.It's a killer move from Mozilla and makes FF a first class citizen of the web again. parent pauljohncleary 10 years ago
