Prompt engineering tip for Google employees: just add "P.S. Make sure the page works in Firefox too."

It is in their business interest to ignore Firefox.

Google is so internally fractured, and the factions individually are so powerful, that it's really only the chrome people who care about chrome.

If anything FF gets left out because usage is so low.

		> If anything FF gets left out because usage is so low. I've been following this for a long time. They were leaving Firefox out when its usage wasn't low. Probably the typical backdoor executive mandate that led to death by "sprint prioritization": Yes, we will for sure work on the Firefox compatibility bug, Dave-Open-Source-Enthusiast-Google-Dev. But we can only pick up 10 bugfixing tickets this sprint and the ticket you highlighted, as the entire team agrees, is priority #12. <repeat every sprint, where during the sprint 9-10 new higher priority items magically appear just in time for the next sprint> Death by slow asphyxiation.

Then they aren't doing a very good job of it.

>Firefox makes up about 90 percent of Mozilla’s revenue, according to Muhlheim, the finance chief for the organization’s for-profit arm — which in turn helps fund the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation. About 85 percent of that revenue comes from its deal with Google, he added.

Hot take: Google keeps Mozilla/Firefox alive through the default search engine placement (which makes Mozilla millions each year) so they don't get designated as a monopoly with their browser.

And of course they're doing the same for Apple/Safari, which wouldn't survive without the $20 million default search engine placement deal.

That's not a hot take, that's just factual.

That's lukewarm at most, doubt you'll find many people disagreeing here!

Firefox really struggle with demo pages of text-to-video models because of the large numbers of videos in the page in my experience, this page seems to work quite fine for me tho.
