      Isn’t librewolf building on the latest versions of firefox or gecko or something? So if firefox does, so does librewolf?

        It’s a fork, so they can choose what to incorporate from Mozilla or not. If they go “bad” at anytime I’ll just switch again.

          The point is that librewolf is downstream of Firefox. They are not equipped to maintain an entire browser if Firefox goes the way of the dodo

            Prolly not… But we gonna have to have a real convo about future of Firefox. It can’t die. Fuck mozilla but the peasants gonna need to come with some money and it to people who can maintain a proper fork. Otherwise we are all fucking cooked.

            I know there other engines cooking but they immature and at this point either mozilla gets its act together (it won’t) or ff will need to be forked with FOSS values. We have to pay to make it happen.
