Unfortunately, a browser cannot realistically be controlled by a non-corporate-funded entity (if you don't count a government). Modern web browsers are incredibly complex and the web standards are made in a way that largely prevents the creation of new browsers. Firefox is mostly funded by Google, and Mozilla being the ineffective organization it is, this is unlikely to ever change.

- matheusmoreira 4y agoYes. The only reason why they shouldn't be features is the massive conflict of interest.
- pyuser583 4y agoBrave is very much a thing.

- shiomiru 4y ago> Unfortunately, a browser cannot realistically be controlled by a non-corporate-funded entity (if you don't count a government). Surely it can, we just need to make it happen. It's actual code that helps here, not nihilism. To quote the wonderful ladybird project[0] (lead by a person who iirc worked on webkit too): > Q: Why bother? You can’t make a new browser engine without billions of dollars and hundreds of staff. > Sure you can. Don’t listen to armchair defeatists who never worked on a browser.

- matheusmoreira 4y agoAndreas Kling made a browser too? That's incredible. He's an inspiration for me.
