#OpenWeb #Mozilla #Firefox #BigTech: "Mozilla has decided to be more vocal about the ways in which Apple, Google, and Microsoft set technical requirements that have hindered development of its Firefox web browser, and therefore harmed competition.
Many of the competitive barriers have been discussed for years – in technical circles, and behind closed doors with regulators. During those years, Firefox's 30 percent of the global browser market share slipped steadily. Today, just over three percent of browser users favor Firefox – the impact of platform rules and of relentless marketing.
With renewed lobbying to level the browser playing field – and the pending March 6 compliance deadline for Europe's Digital Markets Act (DMA) approaching – Mozilla has decided to detail the issues and the harms it feels they cause."

It does not help when courses for basic IT seem to point people towards Chrome and other proprietary browsers.
