At this point we need a serious effort to fork Firefox and maintain it as a sustainable open source project. I know there are a few forks floating around, but they’re small projects with only a handful of contributors. These kinds of efforts will never be a serious alternative.
A web browser is one of the most important piece of software nowadays, and currently neither Chromium nor Firefox are true community efforts. We need something on the level of the Linux Kernel Foundation in my opinion.
Or to get enough community funding as non-profit. The whole problem with Mozilla is precisely that it depends on profit and it’s driven by accountants.

Yeah, a browser is effectively an operating system at this point.
Thats because todays browsers are way too bloated. A fork that trims unnecessary features could be very effective.
There are browsers that try that only to have broken websites left and right. cough*(GNOME Web)

Its not only about the protocols, Firefox also has other useless features, like the integrated Pocket addon and probably more.

If you want something like the linux kernel, then those forks also have to be profitable enough to support firefox.
