ushtaritk421··on Scrape like the big boys
Understanding your competitor's pricing is not "parasitic", it's research. Every company I've ever worked for that sells something online scrapes their competitors in some way (whether with bots or with interns).

I and most people I went to school with (BYU 2007-2011) shared a room for at least part of their college years. For me, it was worth it for ~30% lower rent
ushtaritk421··on Ask HN: Can Firefox be revived?
> Is it possible that some company with deep pockets forks Firefox and hires what it's left from its development team to further develop Firefox and improve its market share? Can it be in some big company's interest to push for web competition?

It seems like Firefox is getting more and more into bed with Cloudflare. They of course have their own interests like everyone else, but their interests are not the same as Google's interests. It seems like a development that is better than the current state of things where FF relies on Google for almost all of its revenue.
