A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

They're unlikely to do that as keeping Chromium source available helps them to ward off antitrust legislation. They can hold it up and say "See, look at all these competitors!" when in reality they're all just Googles agenda in different skins. Meanwhile they get to continue dictating the web standards to cater to their profit motives by maintaining dominance over the rendering engine space.
If you care about a free and open web, Firefox is the only morally correct choice. Anything else is just capitulating to Googles dominance over the ecosystem.
