   Reading some of the discussions about the most recent #Firefox version on #HackerNews, and found this piece:

   "What's going on at Mozilla is probably what's going to happen for Linux once Linus is out.

   Both these pieces of open source software are way too big to be replicated now by a dude or a bunch of dudes and also way too big to be maintained by people on their free time. They require resources and organization which itself corrupt the original spirit."

   Opinions?

     @lxsameer @Mehrad I use firefox, not because I particularly like it, but because I don't want to support google's chokehold on the internet by running a chromium clone browser.

     @Mehrad btw the recent firefox is absolutely horrible.

     I really want to move away from BS browsers in control of giants like FF or Chrome.
