Stop paying the CEO so much!

Firefox could by now have:

• Much better anti-fingerprinting for a generalized threat model (RFP is too specialized for anonymity)
• Fission (per-site process isolation) for Android, among other things.
• Integrated content blocking (based on uBlock but with the development power of Mozilla)
• Tab groups ffs
• Native force dark mode for web pages
• Sandboxing support using zypak fork server for Flatpak (currently Flatpak weakens Firefox isolation substantially)
• UI/UX update (hire the talent at Zen browser)

If you aren't from the USA, don't try to punch a hole in the wall. If you punch drywall, avoid the stud boards. Easy way to break your hand.

If you liked LineageOS without gapps, than I highly recommend DivestOS. It is a soft-fork of LineageOS with significant security hardening and removal of proprietary binary blobs.

Avoid installing extensions as they break browser site isolation (bad for security). Extensions have a lot more access than a website does in the browser.

VPNs are illegal in China.

Massgrave (known widely for their Windows and Office activation scripts) provides download links as well, useful if you use a VPN since Microsoft blocks you from downloading.

Since it is source available, it isnt open source and therefore closed source.

Edit: we obviously have different definitions. I did not mean to argue over semantics. I would personally never trust a browser with proprietary code, even it is source available.

You can disable that. Here are two links that disable that. Add it to Firefox or Chromium through the settings.

Simple, only disables AI answers: https://duckduckgo.com/?kbe=0&q=%s

Long, disables AI answers and ads: https://duckduckgo.com/?kak=-1&kax=-1&kbe=0&k1=-1&q=%s

Steps to create a custom DDG search config:

• Visit: https://duckduckgo.com/settings
• Select the settings you want, for example dark mode.
• Click the "Show Bookmarklet and Settings Data" button.
• Copy the link, using my dark mode scenario would yield the URL https://duckduckgo.com/?kae=d
• Edit the URL by adding &q=%s to the end, which acts as a placeholder for the browser to replace with your actual search query. Using my example https://duckduckgo.com/?kae=d&q=%s
• Last step is add it to your browser. May differ between browsers, but generally look in the search engines tab of the settings.

That is Thunderbird on Desktop, which uses Firefox ESR. Thunderbird on Android uses K-9 Mail's codebase.

Source available is closed source by the OSI definition, which is what is widely used and understood. The "closed" in closed source doesnt only refer to source visibility but also the freedoms upheld by open source.

Your comment I was replying to said "I don't know where you are reading that Vivaldi is closed source. The source code is right here: https://vivaldi.com/source/". I was responding to that with Vivaldi's statement about how the browser is closed source.

In your original comment you illude to it being neither open or closed source, which is not true either since it is closed source. Maybe you meant source available? I didnt read anywhere saying that.
