Librewolf is great. Pretty much the same as Firefox without the shit.
Yeah but its a soft fork, inherently dependent on mozilla.
Mozilla is circling the drain, determined to drive away the last of its users.
Who cares if it’s a soft fork as long as it’s open source? The point is to keep the fork clean and if Mozilla fails, the community can just take it over.
Not really.
Mozilla spends many millions a year on devs for their browser.
If they stop doing that, LibreWolf won't have any patches or updates.
The community is t going to take over from mozilla.
I’m not saying it would be easy, but that’s the whole point behind open source. We’d have to at least try.
"the community taking over" is not the whole point behind open source.
There's plenty of open source projects that need 100s of developers with niche credentials and experience to maintain.
If mozilla dies, and that's the current trajectory, then ladybug or similar will be our refuge.
Yes, “the community taking over” is the entire ideology behind open source. Thats what it means. Anyone can develop it. It doesn’t mean that it needs to happen, just that part of the freedom you have is to do so. You’re conflating the two.
Dunno how pale moon is doing nowadays, but forks either follow the bigger principles of the base project or wither into obscureness if the base project changes underlying technologies.
Librewolf is just a set of patches on top of Firefox.
There are no developers.
I know what it is, I was just saying that the community would take over Firefox if need be.
How do you think the "community" would undertake such effort?
I don’t “understand” what you’re asking. When software is open/libre, anyone can take over a project.
You?
Sure! Literally anyone haha
With no knowledge of JavaScript, C++, C?
What's the migration process like?
Pretty much transparent.
