    I hope I’m not the only one who finds these endless Chromium forks extremely yawn-inducing. I realize that rolling your own rendering and JavaScript engines from scratch isn’t totally feasible, but Firefox is right there.

      Firefox is bleeding users, not gaining them. And I suspect with the latest move towards AI, they will lose even more.

      I support the original mission of Firefox, but the browser is just not there to compete, and that is ultimately the only thing that matters for most people.
