True, at the end of the day it does come down to number of users, unfortunately. More users does mean more potential help/contributions. I just wish more people would switch to Firefox or another non-Chromium browser.
Good post. Also, in the case of GitHub, one major reason for me for using it is that this is the first place a potential employer will look at to see my work. They won’t delve into the depths of a random git hosting service nobody has ever heard about.
As much as I like Firefox/Librewolf, Vivaldi still has the upper hand in UI/UX. Workspaces, more feature-rich sidebar, one-click access to recently closed tabs right there in the tab bar, speed dial, tab stacks and other QoL stuff that makes just enough difference for me that I can’t really daily-drive any other browsers. Until FF reaches feature parity (it’s getting close, but still isn’t quite there yet) I don’t see myself migrating anytime soon. Quess I’ll just need to rely more on AdGuard DNS and Vivaldi’s built-in adblocker if uBlock becomes neutered on Chromium…
Maybe that would be a good thing, maybe it would force people onto Firefox?
I recommend to read this response of a developer for Emacs to a user asking why stick to Microsoft’s Github: https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2024-04-30-re-emacs-github-freedom-microsoft/

You are underestimating how much bulshit people are willing to put up just to not have to make any change.
That’s so me
