For others who saw this with no context and don&#x27;t want to read the thread, this is a response from the librewolf team regarding requests made in response to changes to Fireox&#x27;s terms of service[0], from those who are worried that Mozilla&#x2F;FF will use this as the first step to selling out.<p>[0]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.mozilla.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;products&#x2F;firefox&#x2F;firefox-news&#x2F;firefox-terms-of-use&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.mozilla.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;products&#x2F;firefox&#x2F;firefox-news&#x2F;fi...</a>

Dumb question but why &#x2F;do&#x2F; browsers move quick? Surely we are nearing feature complete. Is it just the complexity of the task? I&#x27;m sure there are lots of awful bugs.

Well, we absolutely should be. The entire point of the open source community is to be able to react to this kind of organizational failure and disalignment with original values. Where exactly do the problems lie? Resource allocation? Trust&#x2F;security issues?

Context &#x2F; previous discussion of Firefox&#x27;s updated terms of use: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=43185909">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=43185909</a>

I only really thought of repackaging Firefox to avoid their new ToS, a tiny set of patches should be very maintainable.
