With the enshittification of all-things-Google, a lot of us have left Chromium-based browsers for Firefox. But still, over the last 15 years, Firefox has gone from 30%+ market share to about 6% now.

With the big backlash against them over the last week, I’ve seen a number of people advocating for Librewolf and Waterfox – Firefox forks focused on security and privacy – but if Firefox loses what little revenue it has left, what will become of the forks if Firefox dies?

    Bad argument, Microsoft is among the three most valuable companies in the world, when something is important to them they get it done properly (e.g. hyperv is the best made part of windows, because they need it for azure). The settings page doesn’t get them money, only nerds care if it’s bad, a browser does.

      Microsoft is a scourge and we be better off if it was nuked off the face of this planet. They are the principal cause of why computing has been and remains shiite since they began to exist. Their farcical speculative value based on gambling make-believe stock market is the bad argument. When it comes ti microsoft the only problem is that it’s not being exterminated fast enough and also is the worst hypervisor except for vmware and also makes every other hypervisor worse by it’s simple existence. Curse the demonic plague known as bill gates, may he be sent back to the windows eleventh circle of hell !
