Original question by @Turd_Ferg@sh.itjust.works

Firefox is messing around with AI, changed their TOS on user data and now the google monopoly case. Basically Im wondering if there is a good firefox alternative?

    I still use Firefox despite Mozilla because fuck Google.

    I tried Librewolf, but YouTube (yeah, I know) ran like crap on it for some reason.

    Firefox. Fast and light as usual. I see people say it isn’t and I just don’t get it.

    Linux, compared to chromium its the same speed, but with better features of course.

    The google as default firefox engine was a shit move from mozilla in terms of etfics and financial independance. Then again, if the google money goes away, their existence is at risk, isn’t it?

    Mostly FF for personal stuff, Vivaldi for work stuff that expects Chrome. Actively looking for a FF replacement, though.

    I use Firefox, but tbh I don’t know why. Chrome is usually always faster when I have tested…

    I think it’s def nice to give attention to the only other big browser that doesn’t use chromium under the hood

    Tor Browser. Using the internet raw feels dirty at this point.

    Yes, I theoretically could use something else and a standard proxy, but it works worse for the same thing. I can always donate or contribute bandwidth if fairness is a concern, and just having a bunch of normal traffic flowing through is part of the design.
