        Despite my issues with it, I use Chrome. It's simply too integrated into my life. But I just saw (like 2 minutes ago) from another thread here about Zen Browser and maaaan is it nice.

          Firefox. Equally concerned as well.

            Zen is good. Arc is decent if you must have a chromium browser for some reason, but not OSS

              Isn't Zen just a skin of firefox, so the same issues? And Arc is VC funded...

                Been moving over to LibreWolf and I'm pretty happy with it so far. I added NoScript and CanvasBlocker extensions, along with my password manager, and I'm getting settled in with it now.

                      Yes, it seems to use the same engine as Firefox.

                        But not a fork, right? Sorry I don't understand it clearly.

                          IMO, if I'm going to jump from Chrome it might as well be for libre/OSS. No reason to just from proprietary to proprietary.

                            Zen Browser is a free and open-source fork of Mozilla Firefox, with its main focus being privacy, customizability and design, and it is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL 2.0).

                            Seems to be a fork.

                              Recent news about Firefox finally got me to go with LibreWolf.

                                  Chromium browsers are affected by any changes to chrome, I wonder if the same is true for Firefox forks.

                                    Simple forks, sure. Independent forks? No. So I guess it depends on if Zen considers itself independent or not, and I can't seem to find that information.

                                      FireDragon because it's the version of Firefox that Garuda ships with and I never saw a reason to change from it.

                                        Thanks for this. I'm using mainly Firefox to support alternatives to webkit/blink based browsers but the new ToU makes me a bit apprehensive about the direction they're going.

                                        I also had been test driving Falkon from KDE but will look into these as well.

                                          OK! You've had 1 hour to check them out. 😄 What's the difference between the two?
