Between FLoC and AMP, Google's attempts to destroy the web have surpassed even IE levels of toxicity. It's good to see the consumer focused forks of Chromium take a stand here.
I'm really curious how these alternative browsers (including Edge) went about choosing which engine to fork. You'd think these piracy-focused browsers would opt for forking either WebKit or Gecko.
Isn't it? Marketshare is cratering, it's not keeping up with Chromium and Safari, and the Mozilla foundation is the poster child for dysfunctional organizations. Thank god it looks like Rust has escape from Mozilla and how has a nice support network of its own.
Do you honestly see any signs of Firefox's situation getting better and not continuing its free fall?
You claimed it was not an alternative. But it is an alternative; I use it all day every day at work and at home, and I have for years. It's obviously working.
Market share has nothing to do with whether something is an option.
And I'd add the only subpar-in-Firefox issues are caused by Google "accidentally" crippling performance of their pages/services, coupled with others optimising just/primarily for Chrome.
(But also, what Mozilla has been doing to Firefox last few years if both a travesty and a good thing.)
