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?

    Microsoft pays for a lot of opensource development, you may not like it but you still need its work, including Lennart Pottering’s salary (and don’t even start with “systemd bad”).

    “Hyperv is the worst”… Shut up and come back when your hypervisor has proper GPU paravirtualization on all vendors.

      I very well understand the trappings if soft power, of buying leverage and market dumping to buy market share.

      You seem to be under the illusion tgat those things aren’t the very cancer at tge heart of tech.

      You need to step aside, my bulldozer has a date with microsoft datacenters and we’re having pancakes, concrete pancakes with demonic server stuffing in between the layers.
