    Come on Mozilla, what the fuck are you guys doing? You don’t have the luxury of monopoly and you’re going to alienate those few diehard fans who stick with Firefox because alternatives are shit and they all run Chromium even if they aren’t.

    Ladybird needs to materialize fast before it’s too late.

    I’d go Waterfox, but I really like the on-machine translation in Firefox that Waterfox doesn’t have it.

      i think there should be a global switch that enables firefox to send data to third parties, and it should be disabled by default; then firefox would be fine.

      LibreWolf has the on-machine translation and when you disable some of the hardcore privacy defaults it is a quite good Firefox replacement.

        That’s my biggest problem with LibreWolf: the defaults are waay too strict and disable/break so many things

        Why are none of these Firefox alternatives in my distro’s repository?

            Well, it’s Kubuntu, so yeah, I guess.

            But it’s a popular bad distro, so that’s still a problem for a lot of people.

          Firefox Desktop doesn’t have a mobile version, they just call an entirely separate codebase for the mobile version Firefox as well. If you want a mobile alternative there is Fennec.
