Librewolf kinda depends on the existence of Firefox

The librewolf maintainers have written some patches, scripts and config to remove some specific bits of Firefox and bundle a few extensions. They will not necessarily have the ability to develop a whole web browser on their own

if the solution to mozilla's money problems involves selling their users, then i guess it's time for them to die, along with firefox and librewolf. at that point i guess i'll just have to use the best available option, like i've always done

If Firefox dies, the entire Internet goes with it because Google's hegemony over web standards will go unchecked.

"ah nuts, well nothing for it, best just give ourselves willingly over to our google overlords when the time comes"

for real? you're not even gonna try?

try what? give mozilla money? sure, i'd buy a browser, maybe even a reasonably priced subscription. but would that guarantee a bullshit-free product? i'm skeptical. also, they'd never make enough money that way

this thread is full of lamenting over google's global takeover and downvotes for me not stomping my feet about it, but i've yet to see an actionable suggestion for what to do about it

Giving your money to Mozilla wouldn't even guarantee it went to Firefox. First 6M have to go to its CEO.
