Mozilla is sliding down a slippery slope to enshitification; but they’re still near the top of that slide. The bad stuff hasn’t actually come yet. So Firefox is still top-tier in the short term.
In the medium term, we can look towards a fork such as Librewolf or Waterfox.
And in the long term, we’ll probably turn to a new project using Ladybird or Servo.
I’ll stop using Chromium-based trash once Firefox devs stop acting all holier than thou and implement WebUSB and WebSerial instead of some vague notion they are protecting me from myself by not implementing it.
Now that Mozilla’s fucked. What’s the next option that’s not Chromium?
Librewolf, degoogled chromium, private windows. If you don’t want your data to be sold, don’t give out your data.
Disable tor in tor browser.
IceCat
That isn’t ready for common use by most people until there they offer binaries for easy installation.
Ladybird in a few years, forks of Firefox for now.
It do be a slippery slope though
A different fork from firefox like librewolf
Librewolf is just some patches added on top of Firefox.
Which happen to remove all telemetry, ads, reporting, etc. You know, the reason we don’t want to use vanilla Firefox.
Use Librewolf. Please don’t use any damned Chromium-based trash.
I’ll stop using Chromium-based trash once Firefox devs stop acting all holier than thou and implement WebUSB and WebSerial instead of some vague notion they are protecting me from myself by not implementing it.
WebUSB isn’t a web standard and there isn’t a spec for it. If it becomes a standard then they might. However, it is terrible for privacy and security.
