Of course, I don't really want him to leave the community.
Neither do I. Whenever I see him, I always cannot help but think of his age above everything else, simply because I believe that this fact explains more to the neutral observer than anything else about his choices. He is too young to remember a time before iPhone-centric design became the mainstream. He grew up with Metro and Windows 10 ‘apps’; he was in early childhood when Firefox went Quantum. Through his eyes, since most teenagers and many adults lack any real sense of historical perspective which is not heavily filtered, Web Extensions, Electrolysis and the rest are just the way things are , making us the oddballs for rejecting these. Google is not a poisonous viper to him, but drew up how people his age would view the web’s essence, so he cannot see anything wrong with just ‘working together to build a better browser’, the way Google wants people to see it. If all this sounds harsh on him, it is not meant as such; he did not choose to be born so late. Rather, there is a real cultural gap between us, who watched the old order give way, and true natives of Google’s regime, and teaching him our ways, if he should choose to accept them, is bound to take time.
