I'd like to see it use something other than chromium.
The Firefox fork Zen is what I use now and it really covers everything I want, which is a nice looking browser with ublock origin, container tabs, and no extra features like AI or Pocket or whatever other annoying addon seems to be crammed into everything else.
Reliable and encrypted sync is important. One frustration I do have with Firefox is sync doesn't sync everything, certain settings don't sync, and about:config tweaks don't either.
Zero telemetry is also important, as is having a home tab that doesn't connect to anything externally by default. Ideally other than checking for updates on addons and sync, there should be 0 connections made until a website is visited.
Overall I just want a solid browser that lets me read web pages.
- sfRattan 1y agoIt's probably because I don't extensively customize my browser, but my only complaint about Firefox sync is that it doesn't sync the favicons of booksmarks. That seems like such a simple, obvious thing. It is super nice that Mozilla/Firefox sync works across various forks of Firefox. I've used it successfully across Waterfox, Librewolf, and Zen.
- Saris 1y agoThe favicon thing always bugs me too, I imagine it would just increase storage usage on their end vs the minimal amount of text they store now.
- felarof 1y ago> Reliable and encrypted sync is important. Thank you, we will add this to our list! Curious, what problem would the sync solve for you? Is it to sync between browser instances on different computers or do you want to use sync for cloud storage of history, bookmarks, etc?
- Saris 1y agoBasically so I can use the browser on multiple devices with the same bookmarks, addons, and settings. P2P sync is nice but as long as it's client-side encrypted cloud storage is fine too.
