Can't wait for a better Firefox fork to take its place, maybe bring back browser addons Improve performance, reduce bugs, stop tying to badly implement existin

  That sounds unlikely.

  This is probably impossible. Web APIs are too complex now.

  Maintaining a browser requires an enormous amount of people. Building a new one or even forking existing ones is essentially impossible if you don't have huge financial means. The only other companies doing it are among the richest companies in the world (Google and Apple). Wishing for fewer bugs and better performance isn't invalid, but you have to put the stuff Mozilla is doing into perspective. There are only so many things you can do. The addons post shows a compromise in trying to the keep browser compatible (even if that means adopting the `chrome.*` namespace and implementing stuff from Googles wishlist). But it also shows that where it matters — where Google wants to abuse their market position — they diverge from the spec.
