    Yes… Similarly, there are lots of browsers that failed too… KHTML for instance is what Chrome and safari was based off…

    They have a huge number of projects they tried… Including their own mobile phone OS which they were actively shipping (it’s a pity it didn’t survive, would have been nice to have a 3rd OS)

    It’s really a risk / time payoff here. The reality is, when you see projects like this, there are 20 more which fail.

    When you have limited resources, things like Firefox VPN actually make sense, because its low risk (there’s a lot of competitors, but its fast to implement).

    An office suite takes a huge amount of resources, and is a lot of work.

    VPN’s do have their uses. But, I agree… 99% of it is scum marketing
