A “non-profit” browser now wanting to generate ads..for profit. Eich karma’s a bitch ain’t it?
An Eich-like move seems to bespeak desperation. The company flew high but now sees signs of sinking all over, and Somebody Has To Get Blamed.
Maybe the gay/liberal stuff helped it sink.
All the adblock people will get ticked off. How can you have such a feature if ads will be built into the core?
Oh and the guy who spearheaded the bumping of Eich — turns out he did some nasties on the “gays” too. Covering up?
This almost looks like an internal decapitation engineered by Baker. She was most likely outvoted on the Board to hire Eich and when he started almost immediately showing the company could be led in a different direction on a more autonomous tact, she got defensive and called in her homonazi buddies to save her skin.
Evidenced the new revelations that the CEO of the faggot-pony site has also given contributions to conservative politicians and nothing happens to him, and he was the one who blew the dog whistle.
She understood what Eich could bring to the company and she got scared. It was too easy to cruise along on the Google Welfare train than to do something creative with entrepreneurship so it was “off with his head”.
Eich will bounce back with a new browser, I feel, because that is just the kind of forward thinker he has been.
