That's incredibly sad. I wish those people had forked Firefox and created their own company to rival Mozilla. I would have switched.

- alternatex 2y agoThere is Zen browser, which is a fork of Firefox. Though no idea who's developing it.
- tumsfestival 2y agoA bunch of randos, which doesn't really inspire much confidence.
- drak0n1c 2y agoOne did. Brave browser.
- fyrn_ 2y agoIsn't brave just a chromium flavor?
- matheusmoreira 2y agoIt is. At least they're not forcing the controversial changes such as Manifest V3 onto their users.
- Daedren 2y agoThey very much are. V3 support comes with Chromium, and once Google removes V2 from the codebase they'll have to abide. The difference is that it's less impactful since it has a near uBO-level blocker built-in to the browser.
- matheusmoreira 2y ago> The difference is that it's less impactful since it has a near uBO-level blocker built-in to the browser. I think that's the right thing to do. Honestly V3 is pretty reasonable. It's just that uBlock Origin is so important and trusted it should be an exception. It should be built into the browser, only conflicts of interest prevent this. Can't trust an ad company to maintain an ad blocker.
- soundnote 2y agoBrave did start on Gecko, but migrated to Chromium.
