    I can understand and relate to the complaints in this article but there’s not really another alternative that I would prefer to use either

      Exactly. I’m not running to chrome with it’s defanged ad blockers and Google stink.

            It won’t disappear, but the version number will be frozen. I kinda prefer to have security updates on a regular basis.

            The development of Firefox would vanish and Firefox would slowly become outdated, insecure and unusable.

            Unless the LibreWolf team has the resources to do all the maintenance of Firefox plus the LibreWolf specific work they already do, LibreWolf will be just as bad off as FireFox.

            Firefox and all their derivatives like LibreWolf will deteriorate and become unusable unless someone magically swoops in and picks up Mozillas’ slack.

            Probably not but it would probably fall behind chromium based projects without corporate sponsorship of its core rendering engine and javascript runtime.
