That's pretty simple - Google has poured tons of money into Chrome and Mozilla. Google is not a charity so this was a strategic investment.

That wouldn't work, money is what ultimately matters there.

    • lol. What other browser vendors? Whatwg is just google is a trench coat. Edge is chrome. Firefox is funded by Google. So I guess apple who's main contribution is being years behind and having half their stuff be broken

    • > And the other browser vendors with conflicitng interests just go along with it?

      When there's a conflict of interest they don't (Apple refuses to implement some APIs that would help making their walled garden app store more obsolete). But just maintaining a duopoly (Mozilla is funded by Google) is not a conflicting interest itself.

      > Did you come to that opinion after engaging in the discussions with them?

      With employees? There's no point. If you have a well paid job you will never accept the fact that what you're doing might not be so good after all..
