That’s very realistic, while having Paperpile on every operating system AND every browser is not our goal at the moment. Our short term goal is to make Paperpile available on every operation system: Via Chrome on Mac, Windows, Linux and native on iOS and Android.

When we started (around 2013) it was pretty clear that we did not want to create a Firefox extension based on XUL (which is now obsolete) That was the right decision as we would have wasted important resources early on for technology without a future.ĭuring the following years the situation and future of Firefox was unclear.
