      Yeah you could be right, I’m not sure about the specifics, just that there’s other versions of it.

        LibreWolf for example removes the telemetry but is ultimately still updating to each new Firefox version. In the event of Mozilla going under, some project would need to pick up the maintenance of the actual browser core that the “forks” are pulling updates from.

          In the event of Mozilla going under

          Far less likely than Microsoft “going under” but sure, let’s pretend that’s a giant concern for the users.
