The Linux Foundation. A place where projects which have nothing to do with Linux go off to die.
FWIW Mozilla gave up on producing an alternative browser engine years ago, much to the annoyance of its developers. The recently brought out one for Android aka GeckoView, but I doubt if any developers will have some interest in using it.
When Microsoft ports its new Chromium based WebView2 which is currently available on Windows to both desktop Linux and Android I doubt anyone will be interested in GeckoView any more. Mozilla's current role is to enable Google and Microsoft to point out to regulators that there are alternatives to their market dominance and gain some referral revenue in the process. The simple thing is no one is interested in an alternative browser engine from Mozilla because they gave up on that ages ago.
