    Then take out the AI, the telemetry, and the bloat like it was the mid-2000s.

    Oh wait -that’s what Waterfox did.

      Looks like waterfox went full AI. Also a VAST majority of the firefox like clones/forks/etc still rely on the Mozilla team for interop and maintenance. Some even pull down the same libraries maintained by the team. Like Librewolf in particular pulls a LOT from firefox main code and waterfox pulls from libraries.

          I mean the code. Like ime seeing a HUGE Agents folder right at the beginning of the project. And the git commits.
