But the cold hard truth is that is seems to at least somewhat help with the funding of the engine’s development all the forks also rely on…
We all need to find another way to make funding browsers work. I don’t know if that means getting some of the nicher browsers get closer to a workable state (ladybird comes to mind, although I’ve never studied it, I don’t know if their architecture is any good) so that people switch over and they’re easier to maintain as the code is newer and hopefully learned from past mistakes enough to be easier to keep working, or keep firefox forks and figure out how to stop spreading our efforts.
At some point we also need to get web devs to stop ignoring the look of pages outside of just chrome, it’ll bite them back just like IE back in the day.
The browser is losing millions of users a month… To forks of Firefox!
The browser isn’t the problem, it’s actually the feature. The enshitification layer is the problem
I hate the enshittification too.

if they cherry picked Zen’s implementation of split tab, I’d consider going back
