Given that Mozilla and thus Firefox is now enshittifying for good from the looks of it, I guess it's time for me to move to Librewolf and hope for the best there. Ffs...
Why not Vivaldi? Two reasons: Multi Account Containers and something that's not Chromium underneath.
@foosel the one thing that the demise of Firefox has persuaded me of...
(yes I'm a bit late getting to this realization, but I kept hoping for change... Positive change!)
Alternatives that are not Chrome based, and are not Firefox based are desperately needed.
The only OSS alternatives (not derivatives) I've seen discussed are Servo and Ladybird....
They're certainly not currently in a position to switch to today.... But it does make me think I'd like donate towards one of these projects.
That does cause a dilemma for me... Which do I support financially?
Does anyone know / have any links that might aid in assessing their -
- pros/cons on their browsers from a technical perspective?
- how far away from GA they might be?
- any "gotchas" re their devs/community?
I write this, having seen a *HUGE* number of disappointed people at the poor set of choices that remain at their disposal for many different reasons.
Could this *HUGE* collective feeling be transformed into a pledge to support/aid their development - whether that's code contribution, or testing, or docs or even making a small recurring donation to the project?
To try and make an impact on the future availability of "great* choices when it comes web browsers, rather than continually having to pick the least bad option?
@TheDragon @foosel There's also the WebKit-based browsers, like GNOME Web.
@lwriemen @foosel TIL !!
Thanks for sharing that 🙂
