From what you’ve said though there seem to be benefits from cleaning up Gecko in order to make it feasible to turn it into something similar to Electron.


Oh wow. Thanks for that explanation. It only has made me angrier at Mozilla. They have completely lost their way and forgotten their original mission.

I wonder why Mozilla didn’t want their own rendering engine to compete with Blink…


The Servo fork? Oh I’ve never heard of that. I’ll have to look into it.


The sad part is that you can’t donate to Firefox directly. Only to the Mozilla Foundation, which, I think misguidedly, is trying to become a political advocacy entity. They want to talk about “hate speech” online. They want to make their own AI thing… ugh. I would never deny that society and the internet has big problems. But it seems the organization has been overtaken by people who want to play political games rather than just making free software.

If they focused solely on making a killer browser they might actually be able to dethrown Chromium or at least become more than a niche player.


Puh. Mozilla is Google’s pet that keeps them out of anti-trust court.
