- SSLy 2y agojust swap to one of the clean-up soft-forks, like LibreWolf
- mmh0000 2y agoI get the idealism, but now you're just using Firefox, which has been bastardized and introduces more annoyances (and privacy, but privacy comes with annoyances...). Privacy, like security, is a trade-off between being easy to use and painfully annoying. Firefox tends towards the "easy-to-use" side, while things like LibreWorld slide to the "painful" side. That's not a bad thing, but most users won't want to deal with it. In the end, you're still supporting Firefox, which is really just Google in a clown costume. TL;DR: We need more browser engine choice.
- wobfan 2y agoJust as the other commenter said, I think for a start I will switch to LibreWolf or Waterfox, probably the first, as it's more focused on privacy and seems to be the safer bet. Completely ditching the Firefox core browser is probably not really possible. I'm not 100% sure how comparable the degoogled Chromium's are to something like LibreWolf, but something in me just doesn't want to switch to anything Google related again. My hopes are in something completely new, something that Firefox once was, like a browser built from Servo (which was a Mozilla project, https://servo.org/ https://servo.org/), or Ladybird. But until they're ready to use for day-to-day-use we got to wait some more years, I fear.
- jsbisviewtiful 2y agoI'm eying Ladybird but it's still a ways off. I think they expect to launch in 2026.
