It is time to fork Firefox. Mozilla has bern hijacked by people who don't care about its vision.
It’s already been done, LibreWolf is what Firefox originally set out to be.
It is only a soft fork
Sure, but as you pointed out maintaining a browser is hard. I don't know that any genuine fork or new browser is on the horizon, and the day to day of using firefox is fine by me, so a fork that strips there nonsense might be plenty for me.
Maintaining a browser is very labor intensive
