      I mean if Im on mozilla’s code im on mozilla’s code no matter what fork that is. Feels like decrying a policy in Arch Linux so you move to Manjaro.

      Of course there’s no real alternative engines either. Either Chromium where they’re shuttering Manifest V2 or Webkit which is under Apple so until Ladybird is up there I’m not sure about migrating to a fork.

        also, the new ToS does not apply for the source code, so forks are relatively safe for now.

        relatively, because librewolf is being kept alive by its automated build processes and relatively good maintainability, and what else is there other than the young forks like zen and floorp

        Chromium has much worse issues. that engine never really had any advantages in privacy either, on the contrary: uBlock Origin (not lite) has a wiki page on its github repo that talks about some of chromium’s disadvantages for addon capabilities, and that was written with Mv2 in mind.

        and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
