      I use Librewolf as my daily driver, however it breaks a lot of websites. We had to purchase plane tickets yesterday and to use regular Firefox.

      I was super hyped for Ladybird but there was this weird thing regarding pronouns on their docs (last year?) and no matter the outcome, I just decided to not follow it anymore.

      I have Chromium installed for things that break even on regular Firefox and for comparing websites when I need.

      On mobile (grapheneOS), I am currently using Firefox Nightly, I think because it was the only one I was able to install extensions from custom repositories, I am not sure if that's still the case. I know I can (and should use) Vanadium, but I always miss my FF extensions when I do it. I play a lot of things so I love when I am automatically redirected from Fandom to a Breeze wiki instance, for example.

      I never tried any other browsers of the list, and honestly I am very curious on the differences between Librewolf and Waterfox. Wasn't able to do the research by myself yet.

        I'm a very recent linux convert, coming from windows where I was using Vivaldi and I quite like it. But... are there reasons to switch to something else?

          It’s easy you just don’t worry too much about it. Is this a completely dumbass, reality avoidant coping strategy? You be the judge

              Using a firefox derivative I dont think is a good option as it will always be behind on security updates.... I guess I am going to wait until the Orion Beta / software comes to Linux which was announced recently. Orion is a WebKit based browser that is on iphone / mac

                I like librewolf but for me video is so incredibly slow. Is anyone else having this issue?

                  I use DarkReader on Librewolf, works just fine. In fact, all of my extensions work.

                  Hm, maybe I'm remembering a different browser when it comes to the extensions thing. I'm thinking of one that used an older version of Firefox's addon system, so has all of three maintained ones.

                  Well, either way, is dark reader.actually any good? Every non-native solution for dark mode I've ever tried has been a complete piece of crap, just lazily inverting the page contents, images often included.

                    Falkon, because it's fully integrated to KDE. Though I wish an actual Qt web browser running Gecko (or Servo, maybe one day) existed.

                      My issue is that while i am concerned about privacy, i’m more concerned with security patching. And none of these smaller browsers have the resources to turn around security fixes as quickly as firefox or chrome.

                      Firefox is the least of the concerns as long as we have the config options to disable anything deemed not privacy-respecting.

                          I don’t see how you could find the terms not concerning and their removal of stating they don’t sell data

                          What in the terms is concerning? They still have the bulk of the language in the old data privacy guarantee as well. This seems like they just got a more circumspect legal department who wants to cover their ass.

                          It's always been the case that Mozilla could decide to just make Firefox suck ass. Again, I'll be worried when they actually change the terms to something unacceptable.

                            Not sure what you mean by Zen being a skin. Its a fork in the same way Librewolf and Waterfox are forks.

                                Firefox. And Thunderbird. And donate to Mozilla.

                                Don't really see the point in using a fork that, by the time you boil it down, just takes Firefox's work and then releases it later.

                                I want a Google and Apple alternative and I'd rather support it at the top of the chain.

                                    Vivaldi. Edge for testing. FF dev edition is garbage. Glitchy, inconsistent, and blunt.

                                        Everything is just a skin of either Chrome or Firefox. Until recently, all browser on iPhone were a skin of Safari.

                                          I still use firefox despite their questionable leadership, for one major reason: it prevents Google from setting whatever web standards they want. Sites that aren't standards compliant will usually still work in Chromium-based browsers, but they will break in Firefox, and then I can report the bugs.
