    i do not control mozilla leadership or their mishandling my data. the most influence i can exert as an individual is by not being a willing participant to their mischief. i’ll be happy to come back if the leadership changes and i get some guarantees.

      Absolutely untrue. Firefox is entirely open-source. Forks of it already exist. The only thing that’s needed is for people who are willing and capable, to create a more dedicated stewardship model and the rest of us to get behind the hard fork they release. This is exactly the kind of thing software freedom is meant to allow us to do.

        It is a debatable point which would be easier:

        1 - get Ladybird to the point it is competitive

        2 - establish a viable and popular alternative dev and governance infrastructure capable of stewarding and evolving Firefox

        The fact that people want to try option one is far from crazy.

          The problem with your scenario is that problem 1 is problem 1 and 2 for Ladybird, whereas Firefox is already a mature code base.
