It’s been bad, but there are a few viable alternatives for all platforms.
I’m quite upset about how even our open source spaces are getting enshittified :( (besides mozilla’s previous problems) Honestly, I might just go back to qutebrowser
https://qutebrowser.org/doc/faq.html #7
qutebrowser uses QtWebEngine by default. QtWebEngine is based on Google’s Chromium
:( Personally i’m waiting for ladybird, though that’ll take years.
Chromium? Ridiculous! We need to develop one universal standard that covers everyone’s use cases.
The unavoidable problem is that things cost money. Everything Mozilla does costs money, from hosting their website to paying developers. If they are giving away the software free to users, where is the money going to come from? Previously (and I think currently) a lot of that money is coming from Google, but being beholden to that one company is not ideal. So Mozilla has to look for alternate income.
I can at least empathize with the shitty position they are in where they have to find a way to monetize enough to exist, without becoming just like Google.
