I recently saw this news on the technology community https://lemmy.world/post/44224445 and got very disappointed with the way things are going with this browser.

I started using it to do my part against the chromium monopoly, but Mozilla is making too many bad decisions in my opinion.

I've heard about forks like Librewolf and Waterfox.

Which alternatives would you recommend? Do you use any of them? What are your thoughts on them?

At the moment I just stick with firefox, as long as I can disable all the ai and telemetry bs. However in a few years Ladybird could be an alternative. They're developing a whole new browser including the engine from scratch. Looks promising to me.

    If you can ignore the creator's problematic views https://hyperborea.org/reviews/software/ladybird-inclusivity/

    there's always been a strong undercurrent of tech "libertarians" who refuse to understand that their "neutrality" is in service to fascists and pointing this fact out loud makes you the problem.

    men like kling were one of the reasons why i stopped being a software engineer; they're so incredibly common in the field and so highly rewarded by it that it's clear that the field's leaders are aligned with them.

    it makes me wonder what i'll be doing once firefox is no longer a thing.
