Someone tell me again why it is a bad idea to develop a Chrome/Chromium
(browser or Chrome OS) plugin that is essentially just the basic Emacs bits
that we know and love?
For one thing, I am concerned people might use it in Chrome, which is
nonfree software with a universal back door. If that caught on, it
would be a disaster in terms of our primary goal: giving users
freedom.
The underlying premise is that there are no "desktop" apps available on
this imagined system, just web apps and browser plugins.
That IS a disaster, in terms of users' freedom. It pushes users
into total dependence on servers. We must oppose it, not accept it.
