We are all that boiling frog [1]. Google, and others, introduced a new business tactic that is even been followed by Microsoft (in reverse mode). They push all kind of open source and free stuff and slowly, very slowly, they move to old monopolies tactics. Most locked people will not change to another browser just because they added a new "tiny" portion of code which is not political correct.

Yep. And if you don't like it they (Google/Mozilla) tell you to use the developer's version. As if using an alpha was an acceptable option.

Why include Mozilla in those parentheses?

Firefox' non-developer version is also getting more locked down. I had to change to it from the regular version when I couldn't use the extension I have written for myself anymore, because Mozilla removed the option to install unsigned extensions.
