    It becomes impossible to block ads in all browsers new forks will be made and the features we want will happen. The bar to spin and maintain a new browser is high but it’s not impossible on there are a lot of people that want this

      Sorry mate I think this is a little naive.

      I suspect that the bar to “spin and maintain a new browser” is so high as to be impossible.

      The resources required to keep firefox afloat are huge. It’s not something a few like minded individuals can do on their weekends.

        You should check out Ladybird browser, it’s an impressive piece work, it’s definitely no ready for everyday use, but it is proof that a small community can develop and maintain a project as complex and large as a browser.

        It is probably the only browser in active development that is not being paid by Google, even Firefox gets most of its income from defaulting the search engine to Google
