@davidgerard @gdupont @ploum The EU should fork it and make it their official "websites should work on this" browser if they ever get their head out of their asses and stop being cowards.
Same for Linux mobile phones (of which #SailfishOS is the only serious option for now).

Arguably, Firefox is a *finished* project and all it really needs is maintenance. For that, you'd need a *lot* of testing infrastructure and infosec and development people to keep on top of vulnerabilities. It's unlikely to be *enormously* expensive, but will need an ongoing, continuous, reliable budget and functioning-adult management.
@suetanvil @davidgerard @gdupont @ploum Firefox is only as finished as the web standards — so not really at all, no.
@suetanvil @gdupont @ploum the maintenance is pretty high, following chrome's marketing twists and turns
@davidgerard @suetanvil @gdupont @ploum No web browser is ever finished because all kinds of developers want to try new things on the WWW all the time. Back in the old days you just needed to parse HTML, but nowadays, websites are often complex applications that run partially on the remote server and partially on the local machine. Once FF had a significant influence on the development of new web technologies, but now that Chrome has taken over, all FF can do is implement the new technologies developed by Google. That is already bad enough, but I don't think we can do much about that at the moment.

From a software security standpoint it would be great news if people stopped adding more features to HTML5.
But chrome is googles tool to take control over the worlds users, so they're going to keep adding more features until the OS is unnecessary.

What if we get a lot of bedrooms? 
(Which still won't be enough, but I couldn't resist the joke.)
