Your past experiences with Firefox are irrelevant because we're talking about the future.
I know. My experience with Chrome used to be good too. And we all know what's up now.
If Firefox fucks up, I'm fine with abandoning ship and moving on to the next thing. I'm not sure what that would be, but I'm sure I'll figure that out once we get there.
Thats the thing.
There is basically no alternative. Firefox exists on the mercy of google which is its biggest donor.
There are very few attempts at a truly open source browser and neither can tackle the biggest problem, which is google pushing websites to adopt their standards, weaponizing ad income to guarantee compliance.
Currently more then 80% of internet users have a chromium browser while websites creation for many entities is often outsourced out of lack of own IT knowledge. When firefox dies there will be no economic insensitive to build sites accessible by anything but chromium.
Low key i wish this fires back into anarchy. I hate the corporate web and the only sites i like to see are those free of economic insensitive and all in on an ethical free digital world.
