Mozilla in how it's advertised / talked about:
- The One True Independent browser against Google
- Cares about your privacy
- The Open Web!
Mozilla in reality:
- Nearly a Google subsidy
- Chooses business over privacy
- Made it impossible to reuse it's engine without forking the whole browser (like for chromium)

@lanodan Quit complaining and just pressure the NetSurf devs to resume development.
@lanodan People are still contributing to the repositories, but there hasn't been a release since 2020. It seems like they really need help with parsers and supporting more W3C standards. Their JS engine in particular is still barebones which is why it's disabled by default.
@xianc78 I don't think the JS thing makes sense anyway, pretty much all JS usage is interactive, while netsurf engine is single-render.

@lanodan The NetSurf team said that they plan on adding support for dynamic changes to web pages. They want to be compatible with all web standards, even if they are still far off.
