More fox the merrier. We have Icecat, Iceweasel, Palemoon, Librewolf, Tor Browser, Mullvad Browser... I'm sure I'm missing many more for desktop.

A colleague is moving overseas and we're having a little party after office. Other than that, planning to sleep all weekend and binge some netflix stuff.
