What's your Firefox Alternative?

Just switched to it the other day. I liked the letterboxing and its assistance to reduce fingerprinting and OOTB ublock origin. And the familiarity of Firefox made it an easier transition from reg Firefox.

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?

[dirk@lemmy.ml]

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

Zen Browser is pretty nice

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

I’m with you. I have Waterfox and zen installed but mostly use zen

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

[happytimeharry@lemm.ee]

Much better

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.
