Guys, some of you here posted that you gonna switch to a fork. My question is: isn't still the same problem? It seems the problem here is Mozilla, and Mozilla is the creator of Firefox and Gecko. So you suggesting switching to a fork at the end has the same problem that is using Gecko. I don't think it is better than using a Chromium based browser. I mean you still using a Mozilla product. If you really want to avoid Mozilla you should be using Epiphany or wait for Ladybird. I am genuinely asking this because It is not clear enough for me.

The green chicken flag strikes again. It may be a small thing, but i knew the logo change was the first step towards corpo bullshit.
Assuming this refers to a new feature, how are they going to implement it? If the browser e.g. phones home, people would be able to spot the change in the source code and just create a fork?

What in the everloving fuck?
aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHH!!
FUCK!
I'm paying for a search engine subscription, do I have to pay for a browser too?
Honestly, if it was actually economically viable and made all bullshit go away, I'd happily pay for a browser.
I don't think Mozilla could switch to that model without significant restructuring the likes of which they've little inventive to go for.
