Maybe we should just go back to the 1990s where we just pay a one time fee to buy a piece software and own it forever? Without any data collection, without constant enshittification, without endless ads? Buy it, get a couple of yeard worth of security updates, and be done with it.

It's clear that libre browsers have failed. They are not sustainable. They are too big, too complex, and apparently only two organizations are really capable of keeping one going. One is an ad company, the other is a patsy for the ad company.

I don't see a way out of this that is at all sustainable.
