@pilis01 The problem is that if Mozilla disappears then, realistically, we'll just be left with just Blink (Chromium browsers) and WebKit (Safari) and nothing else.
Ladybird has its own engine but we won't see that for about three years and then only on Mac and Linux initially. And how good will they be at keeping up with Blink/Chromium?
The bigger problem is this:
"Mozilla plays a uniquely valuable role in the internet ecosystem as a non-profit committed to an open, secure, and user-centric internet. Despite its modest market share, Mozilla has a large influence on web standards, holding equal footing with Google and Apple in governance bodies like the W3C TAG. Mozilla also maintains its own independent engine, Gecko, which ensures diversity in browser implementations. Gecko is one of only three engines left in major usage. Mozilla frequently serves as a crucial third implementor voice in standards discussions, offering a non-profit perspective grounded in the public interest. Removing Mozilla from this equation would do far more harm to the long-term health of the web than any marginal competitive benefit from eliminating its Google deal, especially when other remedies are already projected to push Google’s market share below 50% and the drop in Google’s share from this remedy is so negligible."
