> I wish they’d spin off Firefox and related stuff..., and abandon the rest of their “mission”.

I wish the community (I don't have the technical skills myself) would fork Firefox back into a privacy-focused browser; strip out all the Mozilla "products" code that's snuck in it, and manage the development in a non-profit organization like how the Linux kernel gets developed.




LibreWolf?


no! bring back the IceWeasel! (oh, apparently it still exists, but it's called IceCat now, which explains it's lack of popularity)


The Iceweasel in Debian was Firefox without branding, IceCat (which was called Iceweasel before Debian created Iceweasel) is a GNU fork (and there are Thunderbird and Skymonkey equivalents).


Can you elaborate on what objections you have to Librewolf and why IceCat is better?
