Ask HN: Should Mozilla/Firefox to create a chat alternative to WhatsApp?

from the ask-hn dept.

Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with Mozilla, so this question is purely a hypothetical exerciseAs I understand, Mozilla has been trying to create more revenue streams. One of which is https://vpn.mozilla.org/.Given their branding around privacy, I do wonder if it makes any sense for Mozilla to consider offering a chat messaging service along similar lines

Re:Ask HN: Why are there no mobile CSS styles for HN? on Sunday February 10, 2013 @07:52PM (#5198695)
