    Except that *Fox, *Fennec and *Wolf are downstream to Firefox, so if the main trunk goes shit, they will become outdated soon.

      You kinda want it to be based on Firefox, as the only other option is chrome. The forks already strip out all the mozilla bullshit, it’ll just be more work to strip out all the AI nonsense.

      I’m mainly familiar with librewolf, it’s not just stripped of nonsense but also hardened by default. Actually so much so that I stayed on Firefox as it was too much effort (so far) to “unharden” all the aspects I didn’t want or need.

      We’ll cross that bridge when and if we come to it. Or rather we won’t, but the devs behind these projects will.

        FOSS to thrive needs people who can afford to spend time and energy on it. With the recent enshittification of workers collective power, developers have less of both, and the trend is pessimistic.
