I don't particularly care about mozilla so much as I care about Firefox, gecko, and the continued existence of at least ONE other browser.

I don't want to use a blink based browser. If/When mozilla finally dies I don't have high hopes that Firefox won't just die with it.

I will stick with Firefox due to multi account containers. Chrome does not offer a comparable alternative, and this extension makes working with AWS significantly easier.

> the continued existence of at least ONE other browser.

thankfully next generation of browsers are here - ladybug and servo, so at least something will survive even in the worst of the worst cases

Ladybug?

Not OP but I've never used anything but Firefox. I simply want to keep using my favourite browser, the one I have most control over.

To me blink as a render engine is too closely coupled to Google. Even though technically chromium is disconnected and open source, the amount of leverage Google has is too high.

I dread the possibility that gecko and webkit browsers truly die out, and the single biggest name in web advertising has unilateral sway over the direction of web standards.

A good example of this is that through the exclusive leverage of Google, all blink based browsers are phasing out support for Manifest V2. A widely unpopular, forcing change. If I'm using a blink based browser I become vulnerable to any other profit motivated changes like that one.

Mozilla might be trying their hardest to do the same with this AI shlock, but if I have to choose between the trillion dollar market cap dictator of the internet and the little kid playing pretend evil billionaire in their sandbox? Well, Mozilla is definitely the less threatening of the two in that regard.

Is there any Blink browser that allows you to install uBlock origin?

Not OP, but personally I very much prefer Firefox font rendering on Windows. Text in Chromium based browser looks blurry to me, which causes eye strain. Firefox also has a much sharper and better looking image down-scaling algorithm that again looks blurry in Chromium based browsers.

Have you used chrome? The depth of enshittifaction is staggering. Setting it up from scratch is like watching a Cory Doctorow documentary.

The only change that’d get me to willingly use the engine would be the DOJ mandating the return of manifest v2 support and then barring google from contributing to it for the next 40 years.
