Firefox is developed in the open and accepts outside contributions already. The only thing this is adding is a paid membership.

The mass won’t even consider being part of a paid membership of a cooperative that’s only purpose is a web browser. That would be the way to drive them even more into Chrome or Safari.

Well this just sounds like Librewolf with more steps

You see cooperation, I see a subscription.

Yeah, I remember how the "community" reacted when they made that homophobic asshole quit. They still won't shut the fuck up about it, about how mozilla cares more about wokeness than the browser whenever there's a girls' coding initiative or the like. I don't want those assholes having a say in anything.

I don't see much benefit of a fork being a member coop, since the product is already free. I could potentially see a worker coop - if this fork was intended to make a profit, and the people working on it are then incentivized to improve the product because they'll personally benefit, then maybe we'd see more movement and innovation.

Inb4 Google buys up 51% of memberships and "vote" to move Firefox to Chromium.

Interesting!
