If AI contributes to that goal without stealing intellectual property, compromising privacy or the open web, we will use it. If it turns people into passive consumers, we will not.

So they didn’t really make a stand.

They are selling a product that's just chrome with a fancy skin. The only stance they have is praising google and lying to it's users claiming to be better

Firefox (and thus also the forks) is missing a couple features since the rewrite 5 years ago. The biggest one for me is lack of keyboard shortcuts.

Also it becomes painfully slow on some more complex websites and dark reader is not nearly as good as the dark mode in Vivaldi.

Because of that I only use FF on websites that don't work on Vivaldi.

Sadly that doesn't work as good as ublock, especially for adblock blocker blocking.

There are some websites that just don't work with that setup.

“Selling”?

Even Mozilla doesn’t really want Gecko anymore, that’s why they started Servo.

Can anybody tell me why no one uses webkit?

There are some very minor browser that use webkit.

Not open source, but apparently not fully closed source either: https://vivaldi.com/source/.

lack of keyboard shortcuts

What keyboard shortcuts are missing from FF?

I don't keep up with any of this stuff, and so it just makes me think of memes like this:

On Android? All of them. There are no keyboard shortcuts at all on FF for Android.

How are you using a keyboard in a browser on Android? I didn't use keyboard since BlackBerry KEY.

I know. Gnome Web among others. But why isn’t there any more mainstream example? Why does everyone use blink?

They also abandoned it. It has been picked up by the Linux Foundation though, which is exciting.

I have noticed that Mozilla has a long history of bad decisions. I wish that the Foundation wouldn’t just let it bit-rot though.

Also, with the coming merger of ChromeOS and Android, there will suddenly be tons of Android users with keyboards.

IIRC it’s used by a few devices that aren’t really built for web browsing. I think the PlayStation browser, some smart TV browsers, and the Kindle browser all use WebKit? But none of those devices are really intended for browsing. They just sort of have the browser bolted onto the side as an “I guess if you REALLY need to use a browser and have no other alternatives” option.

They aren’t; it isn’t languishing at all. It is being actively developed. Check out the commit log.

Sounds like all you gotta do is wait then, since your hyper-niche scenario will become a lot less niche once that happens.
