LibreWolf exists, and is already on Codeberg. If and when push comes to shove, they may stop depending on Firefox altogether.

    I like LibreWolf! But while they may be the natural successor to a folded Firefox, they would need to beef up dramatically to actually be the stewards of the codebase. Right now they do a good job at removing stuff, but setting a direction for a browser that zings with users requires a fully fledged product org.

    Firefox is caught between those two worlds.
