Linux works out because it has a raging man running the show as a benevolent dictator. There is the Linux Foundation, but their members are at the mercy of Torvalds mood whenever they try to push a feature into the Kernel. Mozilla is more conventional in that department. If some lead dev doesn’t like it, they can take their papers and leave. You can’t always count on either solution to work out positively.
Where are the hard forks? That’s what’s truly needed.
Who’s going to maintain an independent fork? It’s a crazy amount of work.
Far easier to shit on Mozilla in a low traffic social network me thinks.
Yeah. It would need to be a community effort.
It is, but if it can be done for the Linux Kernel, an organization running it should be possible.
Then again Servo is starting to finally get there too.
But either way, Firefox is nothing but captured opposition at this point.

Who hard forked the kernel?
mozilla was suppose to do that, they got lazy and had “failure to launch” when google started funding them with ad dollars.
