     @blazeward7 Sure. Please feel free to donate €5M to Small Technology Foundation and I’ll put together a team tomorrow ;)

     (Any initiative to fork/maintain a browser for the common good must be funded from the commons. It won’t need half a billion dollars a year like Mozilla gets from Google but it also won’t be maintained by Nathen Naïve working out of his garage.)

     @blazeward7 It would need investment from the commons. And isn’t something I could pursue anyway. I’ve got my hands more than full with trying to make the Small Web happen.

     (Thankfully fetch has already happened.) :)

     I wonder if it might be a thing worth pursuing. Not that this poor writer can fund you, but I run an XUbuntu/LibreOffice lifestyle. Having a browser on top of it is kinda the definition of punk.
