    It didn’t. Mozilla existed long before chrome ever did. It will continue to exist after chrome is gone. Anyone saying otherwise is trying to convince you to keep chrome around because it’s beneficial to them, not because it’s beneficial to Mozilla or humanity.

      No, I want mozilla to die and for a better project to rise in its ashes. It might even drive the EU to decide that funding or even running a browser program is worth the money due to sovereignty reasons. At least with Mozilla gone there will be new projects for the developers to work on without being burdened by sticking to the status quo. We might see some actual innovation instead of “Google did this, now we have to too”.

      Chrome being spun off from Google would be the best thing to happen to the open web.
