Frankly speaking, calling out Google and Chrome, then moving to Firefox while Mozilla have been doing it's best Google impression for years now is not that great of a plan.
I wonder how long Firefox will be ok with all that, since Mozilla bought that advertisement business a while ago.
The main problem is that building a web browser is extremely difficult and everyone else uses Google's version of WebKit. So there's no alternatives: it's either Google or Mozilla. Forks don't count because if some functionality that end users need is deprecated, nobody will maintain it and it will just disappear once it's removed from the main codebase
Yes, I agree. That's why I'm weirded out by people saying "Firefox bad, use Librewolf" and the like.
I still think a solution that relies on donation (maybe with some corporate support) would be very good for everyone involved. Unfortunately, Mozilla is not a player in this, so we're stuck with basically three engines, one that can't be used, one that's openly hostile, and one that's becoming hostile.
Not great.
You just described Servo. It will happen. The Linux Foundation is backing it up now... after Mozilla dropped it.
Hm. Did not know about that. Interesting, thanks.
