The development of Firefox would vanish and Firefox would slowly become outdated, insecure and unusable.
Unless the LibreWolf team has the resources to do all the maintenance of Firefox plus the LibreWolf specific work they already do, LibreWolf will be just as bad off as FireFox.
Firefox and all their derivatives like LibreWolf will deteriorate and become unusable unless someone magically swoops in and picks up Mozillas’ slack.
Probably not but it would probably fall behind chromium based projects without corporate sponsorship of its core rendering engine and javascript runtime.
We can cross that bridge when we get to it. In the mean time, we have alternatives. Even in a worst case scenario, Mozilla can coast for a while without more Google bucks.
LibreWolf? Its just firefox minus the crap?
But where does libre wolf go if Mozilla vanishes?
Its open source no? I dont imagine the fork would just up and disappear either
It won’t disappear, but the version number will be frozen. I kinda prefer to have security updates on a regular basis.
