The discourse around Firefox forks addresses their viability, marketability, and challenges regarding support, revenue generation, and development sustainability. Notably, projects like Floorp are emerging with innovative funding models, like allowing donations in exchange for ads, which may reflect a shift in how niche browsers can sustain themselves. Comments indicate frustration with the lack of distinct identity among forks, dependence on Mozilla’s development resources, and challenges with compatibility and support from Linux distributions. Furthermore, the debate extends to the broader implications of multiple browser engines and their role in a standardized web environment, questioning the necessity of maintaining several engines against potential technical debt. The situation showcases both opportunities and challenges in browser innovation amid changing user expectations and privacy concerns.
