  • Part of this has been a long-standing move by every industry to prioritize business-to-business sales as opposed to consumer sales simply because businesses have money and consumers don’t, because businesses are pocketing all the profits and refusing to pay their employees (consumers) a living wage, let alone a thriving wage.

    It’s been a long time coming for the PC industry, because it’s been a general trend for at least two decades as sales to business have become more profitable over consumer sales ever since the late 90s.

    It’s just more evidence that the bottom 90% of earners are just being priced out of anything but bare subsistence and the wealthy do not give a single fuck about it, in fact, they’re embracing it.
















  • I think it’s rather that they’re still forced to use Webkit everywhere but the EU and financially it probably doesn’t make sense to port Gecko to iOS when worldwide iOS has pretty small marketshare. iOS only holds over 50% marketshare in USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland. In most EU countries it’s under 30% marketshare. Android literally dominates in all of Mexico, South America, Africa, and Asia, in other words, far too many countries to list, most of which iOS has less than 10% marketshare.

    Why would you go through so much trouble for arguably such a small slice of the world’s iOS market when the majority of the iOS market will still be forced to use Webkit?
