Do you know if these folks actively develop it or do they just apply patches to the Firefox codebase ?
Like do they just pre configure a bunch of about config settings and the pre installed search or do they harden the binaries at compile time ?
I've not kept up with this but I'm curious if there is any real advantage of this over Firefox after it has been configured. If not I would stick with Firefox as it will get security updates quicker by people who know the source code intimately.
Anyway not shitting on anyone's choices here just curious.
