I think this is the reckoning of people realizing that technical solutions do not always solve social problems. Firefox itself started as a fork against Netscape’s commercialization, and now has reintroduced many of the same issues: Pocket, telemetry, DRM. Google’s original paper explicitly identified the conflict of interest in search engines funded by ads, and now it is the largest ad marketplace in existence. I think now when people see something like LibreWolf they ask “for how long?”
