Since a lot of us are probably looking for Firefox alternatives right now in case Mozilla does some nonsense in the future: The Arch Linux wiki has a list of webbrowsers for Linux at wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_ and the best thing is it's sorted by type, so it's quite easy to see which ones you even want to try in the first place. :)

@DreamGryphon Are we? Why are we? 🤔

I think I might have missed something. Wasn't everyone moving to FF because of Manifest v3?

@Bebef

They got a new CEO, fired 5% of their workers, and want to only focus on Firefox and AI now. So while a lot of us still prefer Firefox over Google, Safari and Edge, it can't hurt to start looking for alteratives just in case. ^^;

@DreamGryphon Oh. AI. I see. Well, thanks for the update, I hope they don't mess with up too badly...

@DreamGryphon Oof, did not know that this happened. I think I have to pay attention to the news of the software I use more often 😅
Thanks for the heads-up, I'll keep this in mind 👍

@DreamGryphon A few sources to use as well: privacytools.io/private-browse & privacytests.org/

If I had to jump ship right now, I’d go with Vivaldi. It’s even almost ready for it, I installed all the extensions last year as a test in case something like this happens. No extensions for the Android version, unfortunately.

@DreamGryphon I'm quite fond of both Waterfox and Floorp. They're both Firefox forks if you're trying to avoid Chromium.

@DreamGryphon

It's good that there are alternatives, but I think the question is how well these are maintained.

Let's assume it's a fork of Firefox - how long will it take until security updates arrive? Days? Weeks?

The browser is such a critical component.

@DreamGryphon oh help - what if you use a Microsoft platform.
