    What’s the license on Firefox and why is it so impossible to create a fork of that browser that doesn’t suck?

      Mozilla Public License, and there are a number of forks. A browser is a lot of work though.

      Nothing to do with license.

      Firefox is a massive piece of code and following modern browser standards is so difficult that it’s a feat for big teams of developers and no small team seems to be able to pick the pace needed.
