Mozilla seems to be asleep at the wheel, when it once drove online activity and communications. We have some suggestions where it could go.

There is a difference between forefox-based browser and chromium-based one. Namely, if you base it on chromium, you take the blink engine and you can build watever UI around it you want. If you base it on firefox, you actually have to take the full firefox code and make changes to it.
All those firefox-based browsers are very similar to firefox with some small changes made. If you actually want to make large changes, keeping up with updates will quickly become a mess.
By contrast, qutebrowser has very little in common with Chromium except for the rendering engine - the user experience is totally different.
so looking forward to servo, glad it started moving this year
Brave even mention this in the old time how hard for them to fork it… Well… it’s a 25 years old code, even quite older as some even rewritten Firefox from netscape, have same pattern…
