Us nerds *really* need to come together in creating a publicly owned browser (non chromium)
Surely among us devs, as we realize app stores increasingly hostile, that the open web is worth fighting for, and that we have the numbers to build solutions?
Uh… we are. Servo and Ladybird. It’s a shit tonne of work.
Firefox should be on that list. It's clearly a lot closer in functionality to Chrome/Chromium than Servo or Ladybird, so it's easier to switch to it. I like that Servo and Ladybird exist and are developing well, but there's no need to pretend that they're the only available alternatives.
And also, it's very feasible to contribute to Firefox. And through it, to Zen Browser, Librewolf, etc. as well.
Majority of users are on mobile now, and Firefox mobile sucks ass. I cannot bring myself to use it. Simple things like clicking the home button should take you to homepage, but Firefox opens a new tab. It's so stupid.

Firefox enables Google's "safe browsing" aka global internet censorship list by default.
If you knew how the Mozilla corporation was governed, then you would not think that Firefox should be on the list.
