It faded away and I don't know if it's even a thing anymore. Look up Eich's history and why they made him walk the plank at Mozilla. One of the few things that don't work are Knan Academy videos. No idea why. If you're content with the spawn of Mozilla I'd suggest LibreWolf. Similar privacy and they're stripping the AI shit Mozilla is incorporating. Brave does have the Leo AI but it's easy to turn off.
