The problem with all these browser forks is that, while they are certainly well intentioned, they're a dime a dozen and eventually die hard.
Over the years, I've seen countless forks of browsers that make these big promises but don't have the developer resources and funding behind them that make the main browsers possible. I can't imagine it's easy to just backport every feature and bugfix from upstream while also making your own changes.
Unless one plans on building a business or a foundation around a browser, the best that an OSS browser fork can hope for is to be a valiant effort that will quickly be superseded by another fork that promises to be even more private and ub3r l33t than the others.
Firefox is in great shape right now, and if it's not working well for some people(I'm honestly not having issues with it at this point), then we need to find ways to make Firefox more viable, whether it's getting people to donate to the Mozilla Foundation or better promotion or what.
