Doesn't apply to forks, but still...

Guys, some of you here posted that you gonna switch to a fork. My question is: isn't still the same problem? It seems the problem here is Mozilla, and Mozilla is the creator of Firefox and Gecko. So you suggesting switching to a fork at the end has the same problem that is using Gecko. I don't think it is better than using a Chromium based browser. I mean you still using a Mozilla product. If you really want to avoid Mozilla you should be using Epiphany or wait for Ladybird. I am genuinely asking this because It is not clear enough for me.

Assuming this refers to a new feature, how are they going to implement it? If the browser e.g. phones home, people would be able to spot the change in the source code and just create a fork?

I'm paying for a search engine subscription, do I have to pay for a browser too?
