Qutebrowser: A keyboard-driven, Vim-like browser
It seems that they moved it since to a bigger meta issue and it's actively being worked on https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/30593.

DOJ Will Push Google to Sell Off Chrome to Break Search Monopoly
https://github.com/servo/servo
Servo is upcoming, but so far it is fantastic in comparison to any other browser out there.
I tend to focus on any software that does not require 12 teams of people 6 weeks to determine how to build a single binary because of the use of 20 different programming languages and mixing and matching of paradigms and solutions to subconponents.

Web Browser Engineering
For the absolutely massive amount of code one needs to implement for production-grade CSS layout, the Servo source code is illustrative and IMO quite cool to see. For instance, this file just implements block and inline contexts; there's a bit of Rust boilerplate here, but the vast majority of lines are "business logic" around various parts of the specification. And there's a whole folder of these. https://github.com/servo/servo/blob/main/components/layout/f...
But implementing a layout engine is doable. CSS is not magic; there's a spec that can be (meticulously) transformed into code. I've occasionally showed code like this to people frustrated that CSS seems arbitrary, just to show them that there is a logic to the execution environment. Granted, you're not going to regularly click into it the way you'd click into the implementation of a library, but it's no different from something like React in that regard. I think it helps!

Manifest v2 is now removed from Chrome canary
I realize I'm about to post something that sounds like the most generic HN slop comments... but considering it's why Mozilla initially made the language in the first place:
I was ecstatic about Ladybird from a "fun NIH project" but once it became "serious" it was quite the let down that the hot new independent kickstart was... built in C++. I'm not going to say the "R" word, mostly because I'm less interested "which" and more interested in the "what", but the one place I'd really like to see memory safety is the new small team ground up web browser (aka "remote code execution engine").
On that front https://servo.org/ is "alive" again under the Linux Foundation. It has a focus on being an easily embeddable engine and it seems to be picking up a bit of steam. Whether or not it really takes off remains to be seen. I'll be watching closely though!

Ladybird surpassed Servo in the number of successfully passed web-platform-tests
It seems like Servo has gotten a lot more contributions lately, after a prolonged pause.

Mozilla has fired their Chief Product Officer after cancer diagnosis
Just as the other commenter said, I think for a start I will switch to LibreWolf or Waterfox, probably the first, as it's more focused on privacy and seems to be the safer bet.
Completely ditching the Firefox core browser is probably not really possible. I'm not 100% sure how comparable the degoogled Chromium's are to something like LibreWolf, but something in me just doesn't want to switch to anything Google related again.
My hopes are in something completely new, something that Firefox once was, like a browser built from Servo (which was a Mozilla project, https://servo.org/), or Ladybird. But until they're ready to use for day-to-day-use we got to wait some more years, I fear.
