    I hope I’m not the only one who finds these endless Chromium forks extremely yawn-inducing. I realize that rolling your own rendering and JavaScript engines from scratch isn’t totally feasible, but Firefox is right there.

      Firefox is bleeding users, not gaining them. And I suspect with the latest move towards AI, they will lose even more.

      I support the original mission of Firefox, but the browser is just not there to compete, and that is ultimately the only thing that matters for most people.

        What’s the problem with the browser? I use FF as my main and Chromium (among others) for work stuff and (aside from edge cases in videcalls) I never saw a difference between any browser.
