I mean a majority of chromium PRs are from Google. So yes, but youd think it would be easier for whoever bought it or OpenAI to do that with their money printing machines
Naturally, but if OpenAI takes Chrome in an even worse direction than Google, it’s going to be a huge challenge to make a sustainable fork of it that’s governed by the community.
Same, it seems like there needs to be a new foundation that’s specifically focused on Firefox and nothing else. The problem with Mozilla is that they keep trying to do all kinds of stuff instead of just focusing on making a good browser.

Hot take here: community browsers shouldn’t be based on chromium due to googles monopoly, manifest v3 being a big sign.
I very much agree, I think Firefox is a far better platform to build on.
I just wish mozilla got their shit together is all.

Like a Phoenix foundation that mainly works on firefox stuff and mozilla uses that to make tye firefox browser like how Google does with chrome
