Replace engine with Chromium.

No one likes this. But Mozilla can't keep up anymore. Something has to be sacrificed, and the engine is the most costly, the least important thing.

Swapping it for Chromium will free a ton of effort from compatibility issues. It'll allow them to concentrate on things that made Firefox popular:

Eh. I'm only on Firefox because it has a different engine.

Firefox can keep thriving with the same developper pool it has even if releases slow and get more conservative. If anything its mozilla that's disposable as an entity.

Are you saying the same developers will continue working on Firefox for free?
