How is Mozilla responsible for the actions of Microsoft? The reason why Microsoft abandoned their own engine is because they can't keep up with whatever chrome does. Firefox was never a choice because then they'd be stuck with turning a 10% marketshare engine into a 20% marketshare engine rather than making the 60% marketshare engine a 70% marketshare engine.

They are stuck with such low marketshare because their browser was way slower than chrome. They were in the market before google, but they didn't make the right investments.

Also electron is already not using Mozilla technology and that was a major factor
