And that's why we should use Chrome?
No, but cargo-culting Mozilla isn't ideal.
Forks create options. Only a handful of forks will actually be used.
Tell that to Linux lol
or userspace audio daemons
or package managers
or FHS
or Linux userspace network stacks
or Linux firewalls
or init systems & rc managers
or window managers / desktop environments
or graphics toolkits

yeah, Linux is a kernel, not an OS, build whatever you want onto it.
