I guess it says updated, but hey. PR for Firefox is cool, until the imminent enshittification.

The moment that Firefox goes too far, it’ll immediately be forked and 75% of the user base would leave within a few months. Their user base is almost entirely privacy-conscious, technologically savvy people.

Depends on how it "goes too far". What I am, for example, afraid of is the possibility of removing Manifest V2 support. Maintaining the browser with such a significant change would get more and more difficult as time goes on.

I think that would be an example of a wildly unpopular change, yeah.
