    My hope is that Mozilla stops working on Firefox and the Linux Foundation creates a new Firefox fork and finances the project. It would be the official Linux browser.

      I do not see why you think the Linux Foundation could stomp 500+ devs out of the ground and do a better job. That’s three times the size of the current Linux Foundation. Nevermind that the Linux Foundation is purely non-profit. Paying a living wage to that many devs is pretty much just not going to be possible.

        There is no need to at the moment, that’s stopping them. Like with Redis, there was a need to fork it. My hope is that the Linux Foundation does not see any other way than doing it themselves.
