@arendleejessurun yeah i think thats absolutely some dem-style notions of how software grows.
so off the fedi someone very wise said the biggest problem is pretty much money. ballpark of a million a year to operate. and i was kind of in disbelief but they pointed out that even microsoft stopped spending the money on it and just went with chrome.
but like... i dont think a million a year is impossible. i do think the time is right as a lot more people care about tech politics, and privacy and recognize how its affecting them. and like this is last stand. gecko is already practically dead.
maybe the correct first step is to get a lot more folks on librewolf? bc despite what i claimed, that i feel a lot of people are interested right now, theres almost no one using librewolf by the numbers.
