The other day, I made a post about Firefox’s 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?

    Saying Librewolf is an alternative to FF is like saying Brave is an alternative to Chrome. The only exception that the base of FF is FF and the base of Chrome, where all other Forks are based on, is Chromium.

    The only alternatives are completely independent projects, like Webkit. But they aren’t really suitable for power users.

      Yes but they dont have the “issue” with the ai and so on. I still go all in on firefox to be a REAL alternative to anything like colored chromium.

      I would recommend waterfox too, it has some neat theme options. Firefox didnt shit its own base like chromium did with mv3

      GNOME Web uses WebKit, but I don’t feel like it’s a full-featured browser.

        Exactly, that’s the problem. We need to either hard fork an earlier version of Gecko/FF or put a lot more resources and effort into other browsers.
