Re: Chrome on desktop
Notwithstanding the machinations of Apple, Google et al, Mozilla have made their fair share of faux pas too.
Amongst other matters, not long ago, Firefox on desktop had a prolonged case of update diarrhoea. Every other day it seemed necessary to reinstall it, always with the hackneyed 'your security is at risk' warning while having necessary add-ons broken in the process (at least until the beleaguered, volunteer developer could/would update them).
Can't help but think this made a significant contribution to Mozilla's loss of appeal, especially at a time when many were moving away from desktop toward mobile.
We like and use Firefox still, but if it played nicely with sync services for Google etc. it might help them recover some traction?
