I’m worried about the direction of Mozilla, though. We need another :'(
I installed ZenBrowser and it’s pretty good. It’s pretty, it works
LibreWolf for desktop, Mull for Android.
Keep in mind both LibreWolf and Mull are very slow because LibreWolf disabled WebGL, enabling higher privacy features, and Mull disabled JIT, a massive performance hit.
This is for people who don’t know then blaming Firefox being slow, LibreWolf and Mull are slower version of Firefox, just that.
Aren’t those Firefox with some patches?
Well yes, but it’s the patches that make them special. Every Firefox fork that disables Mozilla PPA by default is another browser that cuts into Mozilla’s attempt to resell private data to advertisers while marketing it as private (which is, I kid you not, a reason they say they needed it enabled by default).
And considering Firefox itself is still open source, it’s a completely valid browser to base a fork off of. Especially when the only serviceable alternative is Chrome right now.
Isn’t chromium open source too?
Ladybird is slowly being worked on but I doubt we’ll see people daily driving it for a few years yet.
I wouldn’t worry too much about Mozilla when it comes to Firefox at least. As long as they keep up with the backend then forks can clean the crud off.
Ladybird needs to support openness & stop using MS GitHub & Discord as their only means of communication/collaboration.
While at the same time Firefox implodes
Misleading title. This is nothing new, just Manifest V2 being removed. Ad blockers like uBlock Origin Lite still work.
You would hope so but some chromium forks still try maintain their own ad blockers. And I’ve seen people just jump between what ones still work, or those few who just give up on ad-blocking all together.
The sad reality is, there was no significant change when they intentionally crippled the API to fight against ad blockers and there won’t be a significant change now.
