Hey Microsoft, i have a Idea:

Buy Mozilla, fire all the CEO/Staff, bring all the lost Devs back and let them work on the Browser and Rust (and just that), if anything happens with the Chromium development you have your own second browser at hand...and by that way rust itself.



I was thinking the same, but for Amazon.

They don't have a browser yet (extremely interesting data), directly compete with google on ads (and search when we consider shopping) and are increasingly using Rust. Getting great engineering talent on top is nice, too.


>I was thinking the same, but for Amazon.

Hmm nice idea with Amazon...or Linaro OR IBM/Redhat OR SUSE..


I feel like the antitrust case of 2001 probably has them shying away from acquiring Mozilla, given that Mozilla née Netscape was one of the major bringers of the complaints.


You could say the same with Linux cancer :)
