  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.

    Orion

    • not open source
    • security and privacy can’t be publicly audited

    FF forks

    • open source
    • can be publicly audited

    Ladybird

    • Run by a questionable person known to say questionable things

    Servo

    • Our only hope. FF fork maintainers should shift their efforts to ship a browser using the Servo engine when it becomes production ready.
