People have said (including me) that I’d pay for Firefox if I could…

Maybe we should collectively put our money where our mouth is!

Would there be any interest in starting a fork or even a new browser that was supported by the community via donations?

What would people actually want in such a thing? IMHO I would like something like that to be the best damn standards adhering browser, minimalistic but configurable, secure and fast.

… to be hones, thinking about how everyone wants something different and you can’t please everyone, the most ideal situation would be something like an Emacs for browsers (yes I know Emacs has browser functionality).

Imagine a JavaScript console that could call functions that ran browser functionality! You could script your own browser, use someone else’s config, build your own plugins, etc!
