We need Worse Add-ons

We need Worse Add-ons

Add-ons for Firefox today are too good! we must stop this!

If add-ons become too powerful then users will have control of their own lives. We must put a stop to this. How can we be more like Google, Apple, or the gold standard of our industry, Microsoft?

Mozilla must do something today if it is going to take back control from it’s users. Firefox can’t be allowed to be contorted to user preference. It must be firm and boldly copy Google Chrome.

Users however will need to be placated to for the short term. Least they mobilize and fork the fox. So we should make it possible to do anything, whilst constantly striving to make that possibility harder to achieve.

Make no mistake this is a war. Between us, those who know we must copy Google Chrome, and them, those that want choice.
