They need to stop bloating the web, so that browser development stops taking billion dollar budgets.

Pretty sure, Google is at the forefront of that endeavor. Apple has no interest in keeping up. And Mozilla needs to stay in the talks for whatever Google proposes to ensure the webstandard can be implemented by others.

Netscape. Specifically the homophobe guy that's now leading the Chromium-based browser Brave.

I'm being a jackass about it, because that was 28 years ago. You can't say they should stop bloating the web and then bring up an example from before Google even existed.
