i've been using floorp for about a year with no issues other than the rare "chrome only" pages, for those I just use vivaldi. Floorp with sideberry and ublock is a pretty nice setup.

Why do people keep bring this up? It's been known for years and years that you can't donate directly to firefox unless you just donate to one of the forked projects like librewolf or waterfox that might eventually make changes tha

It's not outlandish because the tail wagging the dog in this case is only a few billionaires, Dump and Husk and a couple of others. So I think we should allow it.

why can't they let you opt into those services and agreements at the opt in part? There's a middle ground they are completely ignoring. The only way around it is to install a fork of firefox that doesn't have any of it.

I too wish they would have spent money only on the improving the browser, obvious things like sync, and probably web standards, that's all they really need to do. They don't need to be doing stuff like "social equality"
