    The other day, I made a post about Firefox'es web extensions, specifically for YouTube. A lot of people pointed out Mozilla's recent TOS update, which pertains to selling personal data. I noticed there were no suggestions, though. What alternative would you suggest, Lemmy?

    I still use Firefox on PC and Fennec on my mobile. So far I have no plans to change that.

      Currently I'm angrily sticking with Firefox. But once Floorp switches to the current version of Firefox as base I'll totally try this one. According to what I found, they will switch with the next major release.

        Isn’t it absolutely proprietary?

          Seems like not entirely. But oh well. It looked so good on YouTube. Especially the customizations and alternate UIs.

              I switched to firefox-esr and will be happy to wait for tab groups and vertical tabs in the June/July version.

                  Fork of FireFox,
                  with a focus on data privacy:
                  https://librewolf.net/

                  I'd also like to add IronFox,
                  similar to LibreWolf, but for mobile:
                  https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox/

                  From what I know, librewolf is just a script. Sm it will be susceptible to Firefox’s policies

                      After a brief scroll through their source repo, I think it's a set of patches which gets applied by a script while compiling the browser from source.

                      So it's unlikely that it will be susceptible,
                      unless they forget to patch some telemetry out during a release, which is unlikely, since the projects goal is data privacy + security.
