@davidrevoy Excellent art, as always.

I switched this week too. It was very simple on Linux Mint, but I worry about the future of the Firefox code base.

@darkbeth @davidrevoy hopefully we have to worry about that only a few years until independent engines become usable. #Verso and #Ladybird are candidates if #mozilla codebase rots. GNOME Web / #epiphany is another browser that has an engine not depending on Google (Apple webkit engine though, but at it it will be a real competition and even though they are bad to their own usets, they are not as powerful on the web like Google).

@praveen @darkbeth Thank you Elizabeth.

LibreWolf is just a layer of community reviewing in case Mozilla pushes something bad to their audience. My metaphor about the layer of ash on top of a fox works for this reason.

I also worry for the future of Firefox. I hope their executives will see larger community forming around forks, and it will make them find back their focus to privacy, and security. I'll be back to Firefox if they do that.

@natsume_shokogami @davidrevoy @darkbeth It would appear easy to maintain at start, but after a while it is not possible for a small volunteer team to catch up with all the new standards emerging on the web. Small team may be able to maintain, but can't catch up with the new developments on the web and many websites that adopts newer standards would stop working.

GNOME Web itself is an example, it still does not support WebRTC, so you can't join any voice/video calls via GNOME Web.
