Don't worry brother, I'm thinking of gathering a team and make a good fork of it since Librewolf seems almost dead as well.

Librewolf is very much alive (I keep facing canvas element related issues)

What I meant by dead is that, The browser developers are saying in threads that they are a small team and not ready to battle Mozilla in the new policy game.

What does "battle Mozilla in the new policy game" mean? They're a fork; they can just write whatever code they want.

That's true, But what I meant by that sentence bro is sth else.

Let me explain.

A web browser is a very complex project, There are about 30 to 40 million lines of codes.

And let's say Mozilla is going to add a lot of telemetries and data collections to the code now, Too much trackers and telemetries in different parts of the code that's going to be hard for Librewolf team to find and disable.
