That's true, but as a Waterfox user, I'm not worried!

If firefox really completely fails, and nobody is able to continue the open source project, I'll just find a new browser. That's not a huge hassle- Waterfox does what I need in the here and now, that's my only criterion.

The problem is that if Firefox dies, there are no browsers left. I don't want to use a re-skin of Chrome.

Yes, I agree. I suppose when I said "I'm not worried" - I meant in the context of "it doesn't put me off using Waterfox". I am worried from an overall software ecosystem point of view.

Lynx is still not a re-skin of Chrome, unless I missed something changing.
