Let’s try LibreWolf, Floorp and Zen until Mozilla decides they want to make a browser again

I'm glad that forks are becoming a thing, again. The community (including myself) have slacked off for far too long, just taking it for granted that a browser was provided to them.

And people got seriously offended by any choice Mozilla made, even though the source code is right there. I get that not everyone has the skill to modify the source code, but enough people do that we should be able to cover various different preferences.

Would be even cooler, if the grassroots community started pushing the browser forward more, rather than just doing things different from Mozilla, but it's a good first step.

Palemoon was a thing for a long time before Librewolf and such

Oh yeah, I wasn't trying to say no forks existed beforehand. There just weren't as many active ones.
