You keep saying that, but Gnome is an Open Source Project (and so is 
Firefox) so they're not going to go "bankrupt." As for "improving their 
product" the fact that I can still use a real version of uBlock Origin on 
Firefox makes it superior to Chrome and its derivatives now that they've 
moved to Manifest 3 and a more "controlled" environment. 

You've got to quit reading "lunduke" if you're searching for objectivity — 
he obviously has an anti-Linux ax to grind.
