Defund Mozilla lmao. Absolute shipwreck of a company at this point.

At least this is opt-in, and Firefox still allows for manifest v3 extensions, and, on the whole, isn’t using a engine funded by a billion dollar company that’s doing everything in it’s power to spy on you.

Yeah i was kinda overreacting but it really isnt looking good for firefoxes future at this point imo. As long as its open source there will at least be forks like librewolf.

If you are so keen to know, then you will just have to wait a few more years. Firefoxes development is rapidly derailing into nonsense recently. They will have to either kick out their current leadership or they will be reduced to a data sucking, adware company sooner or later.

Oh yes, as opposed to Google or Microsoft who definitely aren’t already data-sucking, predatory adware companies. No thanks, I’ll stick with the lesser evil.

If you’re going to lie to everyone at least make it sound believable.

Who do we turn to for a browser? Not chromium based I don’t trust google codebase.

Orion for macOS is pretty awesome.

I actually love Safari but on my work computer I’m forced to use their VPN and can’t run my ad blocking DNS stuff on it, so I use Orion with uBlock Origin on it. It’s basically Safari (built on WebKit) with support for Chrome and Firefox plug-ins (which can be selectively disabled).

Yeah idk either sadly. But i know that having only two relevant browsers on the market is like the US party system. Destined to fail.

Nothing lasts forever just like Steam or anything else will one day turn to shit. But pretending like everything is fine will just lead to lots of “we shouldve seen it coming”.

I think it comes down to what you’re willing to sacrifice. If I can do banking that’s the hard line for me, so JS at the very least.

Idk I still hope a Servo-based browser somehow materializes itself someday, but if/when that happens, who knows.
