> do you think you'd ever be happy with anything Mozilla produces?

I switched to Mozilla Gecko after Opera Presto was sold to a chinese firm and they switched engines to Chromium. After that, I have been using various Firefox forks since Firefox started bundling useless software and made really questionable decisions sacrificing user privacy for their greed. I am really glad that forks that respect the user, like LibreWolf and Tor browser, exists.

I have given specifics. Your comment though is less useful.

> We're lucky to have an alternative to the WebKit oligopoly.

We are unlucky that the current management of Mozilla is slowly selling out on this, under the influence of Google and their own greed - 100's of millions of dollars and yet, making a modular browser engine is not a priority for them as that means more competition and innovation from other open and closed source developers that will threaten their cash cow.




> I have given specifics. Your comment though is less useful.

I disagree. You list a number of random topics that are exaggerated and overblown, then attack the leadership of the organization personally and ascribe motivations that you have invented. Your comments are not useful for setting future direction of a browser, and you are contributing to a browser monoculture.

When we lose the only viable competitor to WebKit because you and other commenters hold Firefox to your unreachable standards, it will be a sad day.
