The end of #firefox / #Mozilla at least as it has looked for 31 years seems to be looming.
The impacts of this on the GNU/Linux operating system are at least spiritually significant
Forgive the naïvety as to how FOSS ownership & development works — but could Apple buy Firefox? They seem to be the org big enough that at least shares some of its values. and safari stinks
But then Apple has a hate—hate relationship with free & open source ; perhaps they can learn that Microsoft has managed to do very well out of its "closer" connection to FOSS
