  I, for one, encourage Firefox from further departing from this so-called “standard” that Google apparently controls. There is no need for it. Yes, it might make it so a single addon doesn’t work directly on both browsers, but why should it? Didn’t before. It will be largely easy to port since it is based on the same structure; that is the important part. Trying to be completely “compatible” will chain and restrict Mozilla to Google’s will and restrictions. We are already clamoring for MORE API capabilities, not fewer. Note that Apple doesn’t use it AT ALL, and has no signs they will. So the only browsers using “Webextensions” are Chrom* and Firefox Quantum.

    Talk about a major typo that changes meaning! That is meant to say “I, for one, encourage Firefox to further depart.” My meaning was probably evident from context.

    That’s what I get for not properly proof-reading.
