Is this fork experimental, as a vision into a world where Mozilla thought WebExtensions should be yet another extension type beside XUL, NPAPI and Jetpack, or do you actually intend this for users who wish a browser with flat design and WebExtensions, yet favour the Goanna engine? What has been your motivation in this?

To answer your questions:

  1. There isn’t a single vision for my fork, I just fuck around and find out I guess.
  2. My motivation mainly is to increase the speed and responsiveness of the Goanna engine, at first it was just an ‘experiment’ fork but since my optimisations have gotten popular, I decided to make speed my main motivator for this fork. The theme was just a nice bonus since I am fond of the early Metro design (probably coming from me growing up with early Windows 10)
