Mike Schroepfer, Mozilla's chief technology officer (vp engineering), gave Firefox fans a good news: the Head of Firefox in China, Li Gong, received a formal notice yesterday that it would set up a company in China.
Mike said: "the company will be set up in Tsinghua Science Park, next to Google and Microsoft, but it will not be large at the beginning, with only a few people. li Gong will be responsible for recruiting troops and horses. in fact, Mozilla has less than one hundred people around the world, but there are 1600 programmers working on programming for us in the world."
When talking about market expectations for China, Mike said that there are no specific ideas. "by setting up Mozilla China, we will make as much investment as possible to promote Firefox in China," he said. we don't have a specific idea about market share, but whether it's 5%, 10%, or 20%, we hope we can make more and more people use it as much as possible, in this way, the world of the network will see such a non-IE voice, and better promote the adoption of Web standards."
Mike believes that in a country, if the market share of browsers other than Internet Explorer exceeds 10%, it means that websites in this region cannot adopt a set of technical rules of Internet Explorer, web standards should be adopted.
However, if the market share exceeds 10%, Firefox still needs to work hard in Asia. according to Mike, "Firefox's global market share should be around 16%. but different regions, many countries in Europe should be in 30%, and some may even exceed 40%. Asia is the lowest, with only 1% in China.
The red part is marked by me. I feel a bit reasonable and it is quite supported.
In fact, this article does not make a big deal, but we can see from the visitor's message below the source address that there is still a long way to go to recognize the web standards in China. Some people are even full of misunderstandings and hate about web standards. Mr. Lu Xun is indeed a great character. He has long been able to see that many people in China are happy to be bored in an airtight iron room. Be comfortable with the status quo. Any changes to the status quo will be criticized and resentful, whether they lead to changes in good results or bad results! Until the final crash, then cursing and endure the results ......
