> re: "From the ground up" - Ladybird is having a go
Awesome, thanks for the tip. @alcinnz has been developing a browser from scratch for a while.
But again, my question is focused on replacing Mozilla, as a coordination and funding scaffolding. FireFox could easily be hard forked if Mozilla is irrecoverable. The question is how to fund that properly, and how to set up governance to hedge against enshittification (eg a platform co-op owned by devs).
PS My apologies @nicktaylor, now that I've read more into Ladybird I see they're doing both. Creating a new browser and a new not-for-profit for it. I'll be intrigued to see how they plan to structure the org to avoid Mozilla's fate.
Also why they decided to start from scratch, instead of forking at least some components of a working libre browser. Even if only to swap them out over time, as Chromium did.
"The architectural view in which search, social, and browsing are distinct is a distraction that does not map to the experienced reality of most people and that is in fact conceptually arbitrary with respect to the tasks that people actually seek to accomplish on the Web. In a sense, we're missing the Web for the tabs."

The browser I use on Android (Fennec F-Droid) just switched my default search engine back to Goggle, and what's worse, completely removed Mojeek and Brave as search options. This is an anti-feature!
It would be great if F-Droid builds of Android browsers stripped out the code that pulls dick moves like this.

This also happened to me changing duckduckgo search back to google.
It didn't happen with Firefox so there is a bug somewhere. It might be interesting for someone to track this down. I doubt it was intentional, but could lead to finding other unexpected behavior.
My understanding is Fennec is a pure rebuild of Firefox without the firefox branding. There are other browsers available that make various changes to Firefox behavior. Fennec is not one of those.
