Because otherwise you'd be supporting the Chromium monopoly, and that's the biggest sin imaginable in the Fediverse.

Sin? I just want there to be competitors.

Firefox is the competition.. To market dominated Chromium.

Can I interest you in links?

I'm not in favor of talking about the Fediverse like it is a data monopoly like META or reddit. Lots of people make this place work in operations and content. Seems not that cool to slam them.

They forked it into Blink a long time ago now. They've diverged significantly since then.
