I've been using LW for the past week, and I have to say, it's exactly what I expected: Stock Firefox but more private, and I really like it. However, I have concerns regarding the future of this project. Now, it's pretty obvious that LW updates very fast with respect to stock FF right now, but do you guys think that will still be the case in 5, 6, 10 and maybe even 15 years? Using an outdated browser or one that is slow to update is surely a major risk regardless of the year. I'm asking this question because I don't think there's another Gecko browser as simply effective and balanced as LW and at the end of the day, it's still a somewhat niche FOSS browser maintained by a small team.

Thanks in advance!

Adding to that, from my experience, these profiles are generally cross-compatible with forks too. So the user could even migrate to another, more independent fork if the idea of going to stock Firefox isn't a pleasing one.
