I can't blame a single person for switching to a #Firefox fork today (or last month!). I may do so myself.
But just remember that those forks exist because of the hard work of engineers at #Mozilla (in spite of the continual idiocy of the management).
If Mozilla folds tomorrow, what happens to the forks?
Maybe someone with deep pockets like the Linux Foundation will step up and continue maintaining Firefox and keeping it up-to-date with current web "standards" (sarcastic laugh)?
It's not a good day for the free and open web. :(
Oh, I wouldn't say it's "about nothing" at this point, but neither is it quite the sky-is-falling that some are reporting it as. What it is (IMO) is the latest in a line of feckless management decisions where soulless wall street types run a nonprofit with a noble mission and history straight into the ground.
@niccolove has a very good video commentary about the situation on #PeerTube.
Edit: s/last/latest/ and another edit, for clarity

I may check out the video later.
Right now I am way too busy working at the #Foodbank, especially during this Kentucky Flooding Disaster where people are losing their homes and even lives.
Compared to that the software situation is close to nothing, at least for me.

@solusspider @rl_dane You can also just read it if that's easier than watching videos https://thelibre.news/mozilla-has-better-lawyers-than-pr/
@niccolove
I get more from video.

Great article, Nicco.
Just one nitpick, you might want to replace "going to read it in its entirety" with "going to reproduce it in its entirety" to match the medium.
Cheers!
