I wish the browser was limited to showing websites, and that technology for desktop apps evolved. But that's not how it goes for some reason. Some kind of imperialism in platforms? Systemd wants to take it all, browsers want to take it all, ...
The fact that we expect basic text-and-image websites to display along side full online 3D games using GPU acceleration and might even interface with a few web assembly modules... is sort of insane. It's all just an application platform now.
I think that just means that browser complexity grows with the complexity of software globally.
Now, I understand making a Firefox fork that doesn't include this new changes in upstream doesn't imply major changes in its code, but still it seems like if you want people to use your fork requires more than that, or maybe you'll end up with a scenario like Debian vs Biebian and Hannah Montana Linux.
