Open-source didn't prevent #Mozilla from shifting to the dark side..
PS: I'm also a recent Moz -> Vivaldi shifter and I have to say, Vivaldi is much nicer to use, even beyond the fact that they don't force "AI" on you: faster, lots of cool features (e.g. workspaces, tab-transfer between your devices), lots of customization possibilities that I've only just started to explore, it even has an RSS feed reader! And they seem very serious about privacy.
Fingers heavily crossed on Servo. (I don't like the looks of Ladybird. I can't find exact specifics, but I smell VC with the way it's selling itself as a product.) I don't have high confidence that third party forks like LibreWolf, Waterfox, etc etc can keep fighting the hot mess that Mozilla has been creating unfortunately. (An """"""""""AI"""""""""" popup slipped past LibreWolf's cleansing recently for example. As far as I can tell, their official stance is anti """"""""""AI"""""""""".) If they really go all out in creating an """"""""""AI"""""""""" "browser" then it will be enormous work to fix.
Honestly, Servo is what we've needed for a long time, but it's not ready yet. I wish Mozilla could have waited just a little bit longer to stab themselves in the gut.
Oh, Mozilla, save everyone the grief of watching you die a slow pathetic death at the feet of AI and just dissolve your organization now. You’ve turned your back on your most loyal audience, there is no hope for you.

Also is there the #Ladybird project which should have – so what I have heard – a beta release in 2026.
