I find it insane that the European Union doesn't really seem to care about any of this. It's a massive drain on their economy.

They only seem to talk about chip manufacturing, which only recently started in the first place.

If they only used 20M€/a (which is a fraction of investitions in R&D and minuscule compared to the subsidies for agriculture), they could hire 10 managers (or just reuse the R&D infra) and pay 190 devs at competitive salaries (for Europe!) to develop Firefox the way the developers want it to be (and let the stupid Mozilla foundation do their BS of value-adds...).

It's really interesting to see the things you can do with nation-state level funding... it just takes political will.
