> And despite that Firefox remains far and away the best browser experience In many ways I agree and this is also why I use FF on both Linux as well as Android as my main browser. As to the problem related to the low market share I suspect you already know the answer, no what-if games needed. Many developers no longer test their creations with Firefox because they deem its market share to be insignificant. I do not know if you were around in the dark days of yore when Internet Explorer was the main development target but that is where we're going. As it stands Blink is a capable and relatively flexible browser engine but that can change, e.g. with the introduction of Manifest 3 and later incarnations. > Complaining that diversity and inclusion initiatives and other political activism is holding Firefox back when Apple, Google, and Microsoft all do the same and have significantly higher market share and several orders of magnitude more money is silly It is exactly for this reason that a non-activist project is needed as I also referred to in my initial posting: Having all major browsers - Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox - under the control of that same crowd in one way or another is not conducive to the diversity of opinion on the 'net and mindshare [...] is probably fairly easy to get given that there are many who are more than tired of all that identity politicking > users have overwhelmingly voted that slightly better performance in loading websites is more important than any notion of browsing the web privately and securely This sets a target for this hypothetical Techiya project: make the thing at least as fast as the competition while remaining at least as secure and privacy-respecting as current FF.
