    I think most Firefox users don’t care

    Oh we care, but there’s no alternative besides Chrome and Safari and those companies are even worse (Google definitely is, anyway, Apple is debatable)

    Luckily there’s still alternatives like Librewolf that unfortunately still use Mozilla’s browser engine.

    I do hope the Servo project will be ready to use in a production browser soon.

        Compared to Google? Idk. Google doesn’t sell any products to the end user so that says a lot about who the customers are.

        Apple sells products. Apple users ARE the customers.

        Hard agree. Apple’s ecosystem is primarily completely closed-source. If you abandon them or they abandon you you’re left with nothing. At least with open source-based projects like Chrome/Firefox you can fork the code and not have to start from zero against a goliath. Apple would never give its customers that kind of leverage.

      We are stuck with Firefox based browsers for a few years at the minimum as it takes a really long time to develop an engine.

      Also Servo is very much not the only thing around. Ladybird exists as well
