I've been using Firefox for more than 20 years since the Phoenix days, even when it was cleary slower than Chrome (it still is but the diferences are minimal )
I'm not acting surprised, but I think it's more than time to start looking into a viable alternative.
It's "Chromium" (?) still a thing? Do you guys know if there is a browser based on Firefox that doesn't have any of the BS Mozilla is putting into their browser?
I'm really praying for Ladybird but of course it's still not ready for prime time.
I use Librefox [1] on desktop and Mull [2] on Android. They're both basically patch sets applied to Firefox that remove tracking, proprietary blobs, and come with better defaults for privacy.
Hmm, I'm not sure in what capacity Chromium phones home.
I definitely have no ability to setup Google account sync nor did it play nicely out of the box with the Chrome web store, so I assumed not? But I haven't done my own tests
what does floorp bring to the table other than a more configurable UI, split tabs, etc. Does it have privacy enhancements over regular firefox like librewolf, et.al. ?
I use Brave on all platforms (fedora, osx, android). It's essentially chromium + built in ublock style blocking, with privacy defaults turned on throughout.
Sure, but with all the privacy invasion stuff ripped out. It's actively developed and maintained, and lets you install firefox and chrome extensions. It's a great browser and I use it every day.
