it's nice to see more gecko/firefox-based browsers
Partially because we need stable forks for if/when Mozilla bites the dirt.
There's a ton of them.
These are all great. I use Librewolf and Mull on the regular. That said, I doubt any of these would be able to take up the mantle that Mozilla holds. The amount of resources and manpower needed to maintain and produce a modern browser that isn't a fork is immense.
Not to knock the devs who maintain these forks, but my guess is the majority of the work comes down to the devs at Mozilla. And if they fall, it's likely these forks will as well, or at least will become an out of date mess.
