Late stage corporativism...

Nitter

Blink is also not embeddable.

Well, it's almost the same thing, since Google now controls web standards (and Mozilla).

Turning Firefox into a Chrome copycat* with built-in blocklists and Tor Browser Bundle features certainly didn't make it gain more users. Mozilla should've left Brave occupy that s…

These are signs of the upcoming global economic crisis. Companies funded by the FED are simply not sustainable.

R.I.P. Opera. Long live Pale Moon, Brave, Vivaldi and WebkitGTK. Chrome, Firefox and Edge could go f--k themselves.

Waterfox (a rebuild) and Basilisk (a hard fork) are based on Firefox, but they have Widevine.

Killed by Mozilla...

Safari lags behind Chrome because Apple's business model doesn't depend on it.

Google controls web standards and Mozilla, so Firefox won't save the web. Mozilla didn't make anything to fight against DRM.

HN itself wasn't affected by JS in the life of HN readers, LOL

Waterfox doesn't really have a future. However, Pale Moon has redundancy in terms of developers and a maintained XUL platform.

Weren't Quantum/Servo/e10 Firefox's saviors?

Then we would lose a company that pretends to care about privacy while doing the opposite, thereby allowing actually ethical organizations to grow.
