      If Firefox doesn’t keep up with web standards, neither will any of the forks

        Cold take: we need to stop chasing web Standards that are purposefully set up by big corpo to be exlusionary.

        What we need, what Firefox could hope to be, is a browser developed for a new old internet paradigm. Maybe Gopher, or Gemini (the good one). Alternatively a purposefully reduced HTML+CSS, no JS.

        Trim down the fat so that it is actually possible to finance the development of a web engine an browser without leeching on a dick corpo (and sabotagong open internet in the process).
