Your conflating a fork, with using an engine in your own browser. Nobody is forking Gecko, Blink, or WebKit. LibreWolf is a modified Firefox, not a fork. The LibreWolf team takes every update to Firefox, removes a few features, ads a few more, and releases their version. Same with Brave. Neither is maintaining their own separate fork. They just take the latest from Mozilla or Google and incorporate their code into it.

Maybe someone could fork one of them. Though they wouldn't be getting any assistance with feature or security updates from the original branch anymore. They'd be totally on their own with what could quickly be an old code base. Which is why nobody does that.

But back to the important part. What do I need to be saved from?

You're thinking short term.
And, what do you mean save me? Am I dying?

Now I get it... I think.

But yah. I've gotten a lot of shit from my own team, since they railroaded Sanders in 2015.

I don't know what you're trying to say with those quotes.

I blame the Democrats for that.
They were so stupid, the last several cycles, I can't blame anyone else.

They're faning the flames of the fire we built.
I'd give them 15% of the credit.

It is possible (common really) for individuals to make completely rational, sensible, even correct decisions, which ultimately contribute to a larger systemically catastrophic problem. It comes from improperly aligned incentives within the system. For examples, you can reference the prisoners dilemma.
