I have been running a selfhosted gitea instance for many years. However since Gitea Limited as a per profit organization have different objectives than Forgejo and Gitea Source Contributors I will rather not recommend it for selfhosting. Gitea Limited still great for businesses that need access to official support.

There is any particular reason to deploy a new gitea instance instead of forgejo in 2025?

I believe China and India are going to benefit from Trump’s tariff. China will continue penetrating foreign markets with cheaper EVs while USA, Japanese and Korean brands will lose global marketshare.

Webserial is only reason I see to install Chrome. For everything else Firefox works great.

Same, all celestial names.
