    Yeah the whole situation is a little bit fucked, Google has too much power (over Mozilla) and browser engines in general. But I’m optimistic about the open source community, e.g. brave integrates their own ublock compatible rewrite (in Rust ^^) into chromium. So I think sooner or later there are patched/forked chromiums and if Mozilla indeed makes the move towards WebDRM then also Firefox forks.

    I really hope servo under the umbrella of the Linux Foundation proves to be a viable alternative in the future, that’s a little bit more independent than Firefox.
