Hey @EUCommission have you considered just like, buying Mozilla and making Firefox the sovereign EU browser?

@booboo @eniko @EUCommission And this would be a better idea than buying an US based company to develop EU software.
Oh well, then why not simply fund and support #LibreWolf which is already hosted on #Codeberg and developed in Europe?
@luc0x61 @booboo @eniko @EUCommission I would be down with Eurofox, except official initiatives from the EU suggest they seem to think AI is part of the solution, not the problem - so I think it would be Mistralfox or something within a year

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Don't we have Vivaldi?
@trinsec @EUCommission @eniko which is based on chromium. Hardly a sovereign browser.

Hey @EUCommission have you considered just like, buying Mozilla and making Firefox the sovereign EU browser?
Or even just funding a non-profit to maintain an EU fork which does things like respect EU laws and regulations
Think about it
@eniko @EUCommission honestly that would be pretty cool

@anthrazit don't think chrome in a different jacket buys a lot of sovereignty
@eniko @anthrazit you should maybe check on that https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-browser-vs-google-chrome/

@Brokar @eniko @EUCommission How do you feel about DuckDuckGo, which is the browser I use?
@connynasch @Brokar @eniko @EUCommission Nutz lieber Firefox Klar. Firefox Focus!

1. so again, closed source except the google controlled part.
2. these three parts are not equal. google controlling the engine gives them a lot of control over the implementation of web standards -- and not least, as we've seen with the manifest v2 deprecation, over what kind of browser extensions are viable.

@flyingpenguin @eniko @anthrazit
ad blocking and browser coming from different vendors is a _feature_, not something to be fixed in my book.

@hiphopheaven @luc0x61 @booboo @eniko @EUCommission
Vivaldi is not open-source. No matter how good the intentions of current Vivaldi leadership, without the source you're forever the hostage.@Turre @luc0x61 @booboo @eniko @EUCommission i don't care. Ipensourceness is just a bonus for me, features over opensourceness. Most projects end up with no relevant fork and an owner that decide to reject features they don't see fit

Bad idea.
The EU commission woul build spyware into it to supply intelligence to Israel.
And it would ban Palestinians and Iranians from using it, because of zionist sanctions.
Why?
Because the EU is a zionist tool.
The answer is to free Firefox, not to swap abusive owner.
