Mozilla CEO warns that Microsoft is delivering more of our digital life to Google

It has recently been discovered that Microsoft intends to reform its Edge browser and natively into Windows 10 a Chromium-based Internet browsing tool, the same one used in Google's Chrome system. Who does not seem very pleased with the decision was the competitor Mozilla, which maintains Firefox, accusing Microsoft of giving more control of the online life to Google.
In a message on the company's blog, Chris Beard says that the Redmond giant is officially giving up an independent sharing platform for the internet. The CEO of Mozilla says that both Google's Chromium navigation engines and Mozilla's Gecko Quantum are in software "baseball" that determine a large portion of what you can do online. These determine the content that users come to, the safety of people while they browse and the control they have in this process.
With Microsoft's decision to abandon the EdgeHTML engine and adopt Google's solution, there is a steepening of the balance to the side of the technology giant, which Chris Beard stresses as dangerous, by deciding alone the possibilities for all.
Still, he recognizes that from a business standpoint, Microsoft's decision makes sense, as Google's near-monopoly prevents the business from being profitable and not worth fighting for while maintaining an alternative. However, it warns that the price of securing a higher return is the delivery of freedom and power of choice.
In this sense, the leader of Mozilla affirms that the organization continues to exist and to fight against the monopoly, because only the competition allows to maintain the internet healthy. The message could not end without the invitation to try the latest version of Firefox, and join the "cause" of combating the monopolization of Internet browsers. Sapo
