@connynasch @Brokar @eniko @EUCommission Nutz lieber Firefox Klar. Firefox Focus!

1. so again, closed source except the google controlled part.
2. these three parts are not equal. google controlling the engine gives them a lot of control over the implementation of web standards -- and not least, as we've seen with the manifest v2 deprecation, over what kind of browser extensions are viable.

ad blocking and browser coming from different vendors is a _feature_, not something to be fixed in my book.

Vivaldi is not open-source. No matter how good the intentions of current Vivaldi leadership, without the source you're forever the hostage.@Turre @luc0x61 @booboo @eniko @EUCommission i don't care. Ipensourceness is just a bonus for me, features over opensourceness. Most projects end up with no relevant fork and an owner that decide to reject features they don't see fit

Bad idea.
The EU commission woul build spyware into it to supply intelligence to Israel.
And it would ban Palestinians and Iranians from using it, because of zionist sanctions.
Why?
Because the EU is a zionist tool.
The answer is to free Firefox, not to swap abusive owner.

@eniko @EUCommission Oh btw @servo is kind of that, it's based entirely in the EU and is supported by the Linux Foundation, it's made from the ground-up in Rust, no other browser engine!
@webbop @eniko @EUCommission @servo but rust is AI these days

@eniko @EUCommission No, thanks. Firefox should be an Asian or African browser, since most iconic European companies were killed by European '"protectionism".

@eniko @EUCommission I've repeatedly (alas not with much reach) advocated for this.
The open Internet of today needs would need a free browser - and a free mobile OS.

I've asked for citations, as in concrete examples.If you're only into scaremongering with “regulations” then I'm done here and temp-muting you.
P.S. Check why Germany has a TÜV in China, or why France bans many Chinese products, or why we don't import food from the USA, then you'll know what regulations are for.

Would be globally beneficial. Great suggestion. Or maybe that's why they don't do it?
