Two forks exist, Waterfox and Pale moon.
They work beautifully for me but I don't dare to use them on machines that I type customer data, work credentials or use internet banking on.
Not because I doubt the mainteners but because Internet is an extremely hostile space - technically.
One missing patch and one exploit that snuck through one ad network and you can be compromised.
That said I'm happy to donate to see someone starting a soft fork of latest Firefox.
A good starting point could be to make a rudimentary fix for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1332447 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1332447
- hnlmorg 5y agoWasn't aware of Waterfox and I mistakenly thought Pale Moon was just a de-branding. Looking at Pale Moon's site, it's clear that it's a whole other branch now (like Blink/WebKit/kHTML). I'm happy with Firefox (and Mozilla) personally but I'll be sure to recommend these if/when I hear people asking for an alternative to Google and Mozilla in the future. Thanks for sharing.
