    I want my browser to be nothing more than a browser!
    They are trying to alienate their user base, and they will end be succeeding!
    I hope another non-profit will emerge and continue the development of a forked Firefox!

      This already exists, use PaleMoon.

        I might switch if:

        • it is up to date with security patches
        • has multiprocessing capabilities
        • uses the new firefox rendering engine
        • is compatible with firefox addons as I heavily rely on them for automating many tasks
        • can install ublock origin
          ???

        PaleMoon is really old, slow Firefox code with poor add-on compatibility. I personally don’t think anything Mozilla is doing with Firefox bad enough to make that compromise, but YMMV. Maybe something more focused in scope and more tightly bound to upstream Firefox like LibreWolf is a solution?
