  You’re right, we should be giving money to Librewolf and Waterfox.

    Librewolf doesn’t actually have their own browser. They provide Firefox with a slightly modified configuration. Your comment is like saying we should give our money to door dash instead of $burger-joint despite door dash having no kitchens no equipment no beef and no cooks.

      $burger-joint should have thought about that before making Door Dash the only usable ordering method, cramming AI into their lobby.

        You seem to have lost track of the analogy read it again and figure it out.

      They can do that because Firefox is open source. If Mozilla disappeared and funding was sent to one of the forks instead, they could hire more developers and maintain it directly. Maybe even hire some of Mozilla’s best engineers.

        There is no reason to believe that librewolf could ever ever ever replace Mozilla. They have no revenue stream and everything that could get them a revenue stream would make you dislike them as much as you do Mozilla. This is a complete and utter fantasy.

  Sure you can. We’ve done it for millions of years.

    How many fully open source browsers are there without massive labor or money infusions? Note all the browsers that are essentially chrome with a different skin?
