It also acknowledges that these deep dependencies have made it harder for companies to switch providers, and all of this has been factored into its Firefox Enterprise browser. Firefox Enterprise “We see [the browser] as a key, but under-governed, layer,” Mozilla said in an announcement, slating other browsers’ dependencies largely on Google (Chromium) and Apple (WebKit).
