Tried saying Mozilla had its issues. I know this was back in 2018 but....Nichole Wong (Mozilla) teamed up with a who's who of Clinton operatives and neocon gouls (i.e. Bill Kristol) to develop the whole "Russia! Russia! Russia!" Spiel and kick off this new Red Scare.
I wish another country developed their own browser engine. Or their own web protocols and standards. It's insane that countries like Russia and China continue to invest absolutely nothing in taking control of the most common software systems people use away from the US.
I agree with web browsers, so much lock-in for no gain for consumers.
But for web standards and protocols, well... Why? It's a huge amount of work for basically no gain. 99% of the web works fine right now and is supported by open source stuff. The government can't stop China from cloning public GitHub repos.
