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?

    I was thinking librewolf sounded nice. Especially with baked in security features. When digging for advice, I’ve mostly found people still recommending Firefox over the last year, up until recently. Librewolf popped up a few times, though. The seamonkey internet suite seems pretty nice, as well.

      Libre is nice but have some little bug here and there regarding which site you use or your os.

      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

          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.
