So many people saying they're switching from Firefox. Won't this only make the problem worse?

If you're switching to Brave or qutebrowser or UnGoogled Chromium or something, you're only strengthening Google's monopoly. If you're switching to a Webkit-based browser like Epiphany, you're shifting the monopoly towards Safari, whose parent company doesn't consider the Web a priority.

That Mozilla has bad management doesn't change the fact that Firefox is the most viable option for the open web.

Web browsers need to stop

I'm coming to a terrifying conclusion...

The only time I've ever been satisfied with a text editor was VS Code on Windows. On Linux, it's too laggy (probably #Orca's fault). #Vim is great, but not very #accessible. #Emacs is also fantastic and very accessible, but #emacspeak uses the old, unmaintained espeak synth instead of espeak-ng, I haven't played much with #speechd-el yet, and Emacs takes ages to set up, plus I dislike Elisp and don't really have a clue how to start learning it. 1/2

@hs0ucy The Website Obesity Crisis (2015) va dans ce sens (pour les sites web).
C’est un peu daté, mais la tendance se maintient.
