A rather toxic read which I wouldn't expect from a former CTO.

Indeed. I don't think it was out of line, since he basically ran the tech side for awhile, but it's in kind of poor taste to do that at this point.

If you read the end though, he really is just using an attention grabbing headline and article to bring up his startup. Not very classy.

I have to agree. The fact that he was their tech leader and was running things when Chrome took over is especially damning .

The entire article he didn't take any ownership for this failing and then goes on to mention how he is heading up another company.

I call BS. When Chrome came out it was a lot better experience than Firefox. That is IMO how chrome got so much velocity. Chrome was more stable and faster. Now that may not be true now but it was the early technical failure of Firefox that caused a great deal of uptake of chrome.

But once you make it to the top these days even after failure you still get funding and get to to lead another company.

Andreas is rightfully very impressive but maybe he shouldn't be an executive.
