> The stuff they are building today is fundamental to an open internet for the future
How exactly and what's the point of Mozilla, if they aren't following through on their principles? If they do whatever Google and Microsoft do, then they are just as bad as them, and not something I can put my hopes in to protect an "open Internet". They proved that yesterday.
Mozilla could stick to their guns on this, but it probably wouldn't have much practical effect, and the users they'd lose give them that much less leverage to fight the next battle. We already have the FSF to make ideological points with no compromise, so I'd much rather Mozilla pick battles where they can make a difference, and compromise to maintain relevance when they can't.
