I don't think there's any anti-mozilla, pro-chromium squads roaming the wilds, but yeah, Mozilla has not fallen, they're just working on a spec, with engineers from facebook, to enhance privacy.
The reason why I said it's a good thing: do you honestly trust the likes of facebook/google to design something privacy oriented, even if their intentions are entirely honest? No, of course not. Regardless of their intention, they have been built, as companies on principles opposing such design. They had to be. They don't have the people, the experience, the methodology, the principles etc.
So it's great to see them joined by someone who does (Mozilla) who I'm sure they'll respect if they want to have the proposal accepted not just by W3C, but the greater community.
