I agree, that Firefox looses 90% of its funding, when Chromium and Google are separated.

Would it be any different for Chromium though?

And it is not as if there would be others. It is currently Gecko engine or chromiums Blink engine, that support all major Operatingsystems. And with Tor-Browser and its Fork Mullvad-Browser based on Firefox, this gives the highest privacy and anonymity credibility when choosing between the two engines.

What good would it bring to the internet, when Firefox would loose all users and funding? What exactly is the goal of such bashing articles?

Is it an urge to more investment into opensource development or is it as I see it a direct attack against Firefox and Free software in general?
