Aligned incentives. The FF forks are based on code from a company that is controlled opposition/competition to Google. It will capitulate. And then you’re dependent on the volunteers that pour blood, sweat, and tokens into maintaining a fork that rips out that capitulation. I’m tired, man. I am a daily FF driver, but I’m ready for browser driven by a company with better aligned incentives. I too pay for Kagi. Have been watching the browser bit for awhile to see if a Linux build would land. Or for Ladybird to mature. Frankly, anything other than chromium or firefox.
Run by a questionable person known to say questionable things
Servo
Our only hope. Developed by Igalia, top notch. FF fork maintainers should shift their efforts to ship a browser using the Servo engine when it becomes production ready.
I pay for Kagi. I have no idea why I’d ever want to use this when things like librewolf, floorp, and helium exist…
What’s the pitch?
