Did Google Sabotage Firefox?

And here does Mozilla what they can do best… blaming others for their own naivety – Have they really been thinking that Google is the friendly benefactor they acted towards Mozilla? And that removing features and choice and adopting stock features and stock design – as persuaded by Chrome engineers – would be a clever idea to mobilize the user-masses?

And now where this failed – oh.. it is Google’s fault all along… because they have…. sabotaged Mozilla! The idea that Mozilla must blame itself for being naive… Impossible taught… never ever! It is always the other party which is to blame!

The glory days of past Mozilla are SO over sadly!

Don't get me wrong, Google tricked them. But if Mozilla would have been more intelligent... they never would have allowed a third-party having such a big impact on their own influences and decisions.

Mozilla had and still has the chance to break free from Google - break free from Google's mal-intentioned suggestions and helpful advice... and instead make freedom again with their original core user base... features/customization loving geeks and nerds...

But as long as Mozilla is so arrogant to not admit they have openly allowed all that to happen... as long as that, Mozilla does not have the right to picture itself as victim!

Also, still accepting Google money and surviving with it... I just can call this the most big hypocrisy possible!
