How can something be dependent on firefox but then you put all your eggs in the basket of one person?
This is also INCREDIBLY disingenuous and strips credit from all the other developers who have contributed to the open source project. And even should a project go stale, the beauty of open source is, someone else can fork it and continue it. When a private, closed source project makes a change you don't like or abandons a project, well, you're SOL.
This reads as incredibly pro-capitalist, pro-private corporation because they have big dollar.
Privacy isn't a buzzword, it's a right and we should have a right to choose it. I choose a product that has no function to collect data such that it doesn't exist to be collected rather than infrastructure being supported that can allow it to be exposed. As generations continue, being on locked down platforms and sharing your data is becoming more and more normalized.
Also, that's why I don't use facebook or google. You, yourself, are on a decentralized, open source platform. Why not go back to reddit? (Though r/browsers voted Zen as the top browser, maybe that's why you're here)
Also, it's a browser dude, there's hundreds of forks. Try them out? What's wrong with that? Zen attempts to build a browser that has a different experience to your standard and thousands of people like that. Why is that a problem?
What open source project hurt you? Who was it? Do they have your family?
