@nixCraft waterwolf would have been a nice name!
I'm wondering how FF and its forks will evolve?
Now the forks (Librewolf, etc) share almost 99.9% the same codebase and are compatible: but if Mozilla goes very separate ways, it'll be hard(er) to merge FF's improvements into the forks, I guess?
I don't like "another browser wars" again 馃槶
LibreWolf is another option. It is a custom version of Firefox, focused on privacy, security and freedom with all bad bits (like LLM/AI, No trackers/telemetry, enhanced privacy etc) removed.

@nixCraft I need a browser that runs both on linux and android, with the ability to sync them
@nixCraft Mullvad browser is another good one.
@nixCraft Does anyone know anyone from LibreWolf team personally?
Who are they, and where will their money/resources come from for being able to continue working on it?
(We all know FF got it from using Google as searchbar, etc)
I think #foss in general needs proper, stable funding and hired developers.
How does LibreWolf do it?
@nixCraft do you know whether or not it is accessible to the visually impaired?
@nixCraft I prefer Waterfox, it allows me to customize it better and has a more polished interface.
@nixCraft Librewolf is nice, but it doesn't render most websites that use openGL.
That's basically any website with a map these days.
For a long time, Mozilla has mismanaged Firefox while its CEO and other C-suites have taken massive salaries. Yesterday鈥檚 news must have hit them hard, as social media users expressed their anger toward turning Firefox into an "AI browser." But here is the thing, they are not going to back down (at least that is what I think). These executives don't understand open source or who their users actually are. It is still not too late for Mozilla to stop this madness and return to its roots.
