Librewolf doesn't actually have their own browser. They provide Firefox with a slightly modified configuration. Your comment is like saying we should give our money to door dash instead of $burger-joint despite door dash having no kitchens no equipment no beef and no cooks.
$burger-joint should have thought about that before making Door Dash the only usable ordering method, cramming AI into their lobby.
You seem to have lost track of the analogy read it again and figure it out.
I think I actually nailed that response, the only way you could see it as lacking is if you were trying to forcefully inject preconceived notions like "local joint good, door dash bad" into a situation where the "local joint" is a corporate entity shilling AI and "door dash" as an open source community project.
They can do that because Firefox is open source. If Mozilla disappeared and funding was sent to one of the forks instead, they could hire more developers and maintain it directly. Maybe even hire some of Mozilla's best engineers.
There is no reason to believe that librewolf could ever ever ever replace Mozilla. They have no revenue stream and everything that could get them a revenue stream would make you dislike them as much as you do Mozilla. This is a complete and utter fantasy.
