    Why do FOSS projects become political? My guess is that some of these maintainers can’t achieve a platform for their views on their own merit. They can blast those interested in the software with their views.

    I will keep using Librewolf until we find they’re doing anything screwy. Brave and ungoogled chromium are my fallbacks.

      To be fair, freedom appeals to both sides of the horseshoe so we shouldn’t be shocked if those making freedom-based software are either left wing or right wing extremists.

    The mouth breathers in that video thread who can’t understand why FOSS is always political.
