Add Mozzilla to the mix, for not wanting to adopt PNaCL, coming up with asm.js, and for what.
Firefox is almost irrelevant now, and Google is calling all the shots anyway.
Without Safari's relevance on mobile, the Web would have long turned into ChromeOS everywhere by now.
Not at all, had Mozilla adopted PNaCL instead of coming up with asm.js, and WebAssembly would never come up, delaying everything for a decade.
Here is a memory refresher from 2011,
"Mozilla's Rejection of NativeClient Hurts the Open Web"
https://chadaustin.me/2011/01/mozillas-rejection-of-nativecl...
The argument against NaCL was that it was the browser API, PPAPI, was poorly documented and exposing implementation details of Blink/Chromium and thus very difficult to implement in a non-Chromium browser, so it's no surprise that Mozilla, Apple, and Opera were unenthused.
> Add Mozzilla to the mix, for not wanting to adopt PNaCl.
Mozilla wasn't in any position to command the market, even at the time PNaCl was created. PNaCl failed on its own demerits.
> Firefox is almost irrelevant now
Firefox has been irrelevant because it doesn't have the trillion dollar budget of Apple and Google, nor the vendor lock-in, and with that no reach which would enable it to steer web the way it deems fit. It has nothing to do with asm.js
