Good luck with even maintaining that fork up to date , with security threats and web standards changing so quickly.

The thing is, people willing to maintain a fork could contribute to Firefox today, and reduce the development cost, reduce the need for income.

Sure, some people will be more willing to contribute, if it’s a pure grassroots effort, or if they’re left without a browser otherwise, but to just assume that a fork will fix it, that’s wishful thinking.

I wish that most forks wouldn’t be even worse. Pale Moon, the most interesting one, is a gang of patent trolls.

So is NetSurf, and has been for most of this century already. I mean, it’s great to see people even caring about independent browsers, but NetSurf surely needs much more love (and more developers). :-)

hey maybe firefox just wants to show that ladybird is worth the wait

Firefox closing down would be pretty big loss since we’d lose all our serious non-Chrome/Chromium-based alternatives

Thanks but

We are targeting a first Alpha release for early adopters in 2026.

We need an alternative before that

It’s already been done, LibreWolf is what Firefox originally set out to be.

Maintaining a browser is very labor intensive

You’re forgetting about the people in the office building that sit around the big table. They embrace it too.
