My Thoughts on the Firefox situation

* I've used Firefox since it was Mosaic, and when it was called Netscape Navigator.

* I agree that the removal of the promise not to sell your data is bad, and the new EULA is bad.

* I worry about the long term product development of Firefox

* I question the role of the fork in development, meaning I don't know how much they can do on their own without Firefox proper.

* Firefox sync is an important feature to me. I'm open to self-hosting but not losing it.

* I'm open to new browsers for the future, but this is a huge effort.

* Brave is *NOT* the solution. No way, no how.

* We need an alternative to Webkit based browsers.

* Firefox will have lessons for us about FLOSS sustainability. We don't know what those lessons are yet.
