Agreed. There are far more differences/changes between Chromium-based browsers than Firefox ones (which just remove Mozilla telemetry or provide a way to use old-style extensions). It really was a huge shame that they chose to base Edge on Chromium instead and I feel it points to clear issues in Firefox that prevent it from being the Linux of browsers.
I do wonder what's so wrong with FF that nobody wants to base their fork on it.

I use Firefox now it less exclusively, and sometimes I'll need to go on some "normie" website to book a flight or something and the Continue button will be broken or some shit. Seems like lots of web devs will just make the sure works in Chrome and call it a day.

- DANmode 3y agoIf you're going to start less secure than state of the art, why not fork state of the art, or start your own? This appears to be the mindset, anyway.
