Really no direct replacements for me if funding collapses such that both Firefox and Thunderbird go. Firefox's multi-account containers are unparalleled in their ease of separation. This was really the feature that lured me back from Chrome, which is all too happy to merge your "identities" into a single "profile." Yes, you can do multiple profiles, but not on a per tab basis. Thunderbird would also be a great loss as it's always been my go-to for HTML email management and it actually had decent GPG support. Sigh...

I kind of wonder if they simply tried to hard to pivot into being a big tech company. It felt like at one point there was a new product announcement every few weeks. Very few of those exist today.

Why would thunderbird go? It has its own fund and it's fully funded AFAIK.
