On: Brendan Eich Steps Down as Mozilla CEO

[vacri]

Apparently many Mozilla supporters... bully

I would wager that plenty of those opposing Eich don't actually use Mozilla products. Chrome is the most popular browser, not Firefox, and their other products aren't monopolies either. Of the several screeds I read against Eich, not one of them said "We currently use a Mozilla product and now no longer will".

I would wager that plenty of those opposing Eich don't actually use Mozilla products.

but their relatives might use Firefox, and these relatives might listen those who oppose Eich because they are family...that's called social effect.

I would guess the proportion of non-tech family that equate firefox/'The Internet' with this set of circumstances approaches zero.
