interesting how oldpersonintx's comment "thinly-veiled passive-aggressive swipe at Ladybird" was dead'd here when that accurately reflects the authors comments (as roc-robert o'callahan) here on LWN.net: https://lwn.net/Articles/977625/

Firefox is also competitive with Chrome when it comes to telemetry and other anti-features.

Really being competitive with Chrome is not enough because that still doesn't give anyone any reason to use your browser over Chrome. You need to actually provide some end-user benifit that Chrome doesn't (and ideally won't) and that is more important than being competitiv with Chrome on the features Google wants to push. This is where Mozilla really dropped the ball. 15 years of Chrome lighting fire under their ass and zero innovation in the way we browse the web. Well, less than zero when you consider all the useful extension broken by browser changes over the years.

Meanwhile Mozilla keeps gaslighting us how they care about privacy while trying numerous ways to integrate ads in the browser.

... yeah I see why someone would rather create a browser from scratch than support Mozilla.
