  It is concerning - because Firefox barely has enough users to sustain it.

  If no one takes on the development of Gecko, we’re in the soup. It’s the only alternative to blink and WebKit. Tor relies on it .

    Er… if you think Mozilla is sustained by its users then I have some bad news for you. Or am I misunderstanding you?

      Mozilla is funded by google to promote the search . But how much longer are they gonna pay if no one uses it ?

        If you read in between the lines, Mozilla is also funded by google as technical competition to chrome so that governments dont break them up with anti-monopoly busting case.

    I had to do a little digging but it seems that Mull has a spiritual successor in the form of ironfox for android. So far its legitimately good, just add its repo to your fdroid

  Everyone talks about Firefox but I think Ungoogled Chromium deserves a big mention around these parts. I’m sure the privacy community can find a way around on Ungoogled Chromium if FF ceases to exist one day.

    The concern about using Chromium-based browsers is just that, if they become utterly dominant, Google gains de facto control of all web standards.
