I was thinking about incidents like this one (around 2023, way after Quantum)

> Firefox was on the top of the web and the management squandered it all
I have not followed Mozill's internal shenanigans close enough to properly understand, and really wonder what's the biggest hurdle for some other company or org to come in and scoop/fork Firefox. I'm assuming it's sheer money.
Mozilla obviously dropped the ball. And then nothing is there to catch it.
The hurdle is that, if you're going to fork a browser, you can just fork Chromium. Might as well start off ahead rather than behind.
That's why most new browsers are Chromium-based.
