You do realize that Google pays Firefox $300M a year, making them at least somewhat aligned to the business of Google?
Yes, and I suspect that Firefox is, at least, not going to work against the way it makes its money (ads) but the alternative browsers have bigger conflicts of interest.
Plus with their switch to Blink on the horizon, even the old complaints about rendering compatibility are soon to be moot.
Python? Well, has a lot of groundswell so now tech 'owns' the name, but you contaminate other people's search.
Rust? (or a million other projects without python's heft) The reverse issue.
Blink also has the problem of already being a word used occasionally in web design (bad or otherwise).
Duh! Chrome, Youtube, Maps, Android and virtually everything serve Google's $$$$ making efforts. Same applies to Microsoft and other large corps, no matter how much they spin. So I use Firefox and will use for as long as they are independent.

Please, when you make a new project, please, please don't use a pre-existing English word. Perl? Great name. Searchable. You won't be contaminated and neither will you contaminate others. Tumblr? Same thing. Python? Well, has a lot of groundswell so now tech 'owns' the name, but you contaminate other people's search. Rust? (or a million other projects without python's heft) The reverse issue.

Id love the ability to search "Json parsers [python]" or "music packages [django[python[programming]]]"

Opera? Plus with their switch to Blink on the horizon, even the old complaints about rendering compatibility are soon to be moot.
Following the above logic wouldn't Opera not fit the bill either, considering it serves only to make money for Opera?
" the decision to fork WebKit was entirely driven by the engineering teams and solely based on the fact that the engineers felt constrained by the technical complexity of working within the WebKit ecosystem." Is this code for "They wouldn't take our changes so we said, 'Fork it!' and made our own." ?
This is just a personal opinion, but for a browser I'd always support and use a not-for-profit one. No matter how fast, or perceptibly fast, an offering from a business entity is. Here is why: 1. Tomorrow you, the billion dollar enterprise, will force real identity even more vehemently. 2. I certainly don't want to see a constant hum of ads. 3. I don't want to turn my computer into a wide-mouth bucket for chrome apps…
Current popular browsers are: * Firefox * Chrome / Chromium * Internet Explorer * Safari * Opera All of them are produced with the aim of benefiting their parent corporations in some way -- for example, Mozilla Corp rents the default search engine setting to Google for hundreds of millions per year. I currently use Firefox and Chromium as my primary browsers, because they are the only popular browsers that are open-s…
You've crafted a sentence that will mislead people.
Mozilla did not, and does not, make Firefox in order to generate search revenue. Mozilla makes Firefox to directly advance Mozilla's non-profit, public benefit mission to improve the Web.
Firefox is not produced with the aim of generating revenue. It never has been and it never will be.
_IT BEGINS_ We're switching out the cluster that was IE6 for Google Chrome. Mozilla, save us; you're our only hope. Opera is going to contribute to Blink as well, so I guess there's that.
