Opinion: Parent company Mozilla’s not my fave either
Eh, kinda pointless article rant. OK, Firefox is dead to you due to some recent bad decisions they’ve made. I don’t disagree.
But that’s it, end of opinion. Chrome is way worse. Grabbing a firefox fork doesn’t fix all your complaints. Might fix their T&C issue, but not the dropping of features.
Chromium? Puh-leeze. You’re trusting google to behave in an un-google fashion. It’s still going to phone home and upload all your data. Downstream fork that claims privacy and security? I have doubts.
At this point it’s all a browser garbage fire. Just because one is getting more rancid doesn’t make the alternatives any more appealing.

I don’t disagree with the opinion, but where do we go? If Firefox goes down the forks do too, Chrome/Chromium has a monopoly on almost all other browsers, we’re stuck between two turd sandwiches as far as I know.

Will, we have Ladybird & Servo. So here’s that.

No reason why the forks can’t continue their own independent development. If they do disappear, I guess I’ll use a webkit-based browser, or maybe a Gemini browser that also does http.
