I was also looking into alternatives after all the fiasco and wanted to go with Floorp, but turns out floorp is also doing some shady stuff. Recently they made all their fork only part of the code source available from open source. I don't know about you, but that feels pretty shady to me.
Firefox
A community for discussion about Mozilla Firefox.
Seems like they quickly fixed it months ago? https://blog.ablaze.one/4125/2024-03-11/
Problem solved.. :)!
"Recently they made all their fork only part of the code source available from open source"
Sorry, what? What do you mean?
They showed the Firefox part but hid the rest of their changes is my guess
Why are people downvoting someone who likes to be a first adopter?
That's how word of mouth on new, sometimes better, products gets out.
They hate these points, because it's true. And people are now also afraid for the future of Firefox. And rightly so!
Not to mention the unethical direction mozilla is taking after the appointment of that latest ceo
Yea, I try to not go into too much details. It's already a heated discussion. But you are totally right.
Aren't some of these just Firefox pre configured plus some plugins? Wouldn't you get the same result by just configuring Firefox in a similar way?
No, in some cases the source code is really extended with feature that aren't possible by plugins. That being said, the point is also to move away from Firefox itself to an alternative fork.
