I “switched” last night (just to poke about) LibreWolf for PC and Fennec for phone.
Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser"

I’ve been using Firefox for longer than i can remember. That said, I’m ready to make the leap if necessary. What’s the next browser to succeed Firefox? Suggestions??

Super pleased with Vivaldi

Vivaldi is chromium based. The goal is to not support Google’s monopoly and stranglehold over dictating web standards.

The number of people suggesting that the appropriate responce to an optional feature for the standard bearer foss browser is to jump to a chrome based browser and further cement google’s dominance is depressing.

My 1st goal is to have a good browser experience without Ai crap and have my privacy reasonably respected. Read up on Vivaldi if you question whether their goals align with these.
My second goal is to save the world, but I’m not going to use a crud AI browser like Firefox (which btw is funded by Google anyway) so I can feel superior.

You can still have a good (dare I say better) browser experience without AI crap by using a non chromium based browser.
For example you would probably really like uBlock Origin on a Gecko-based browser. uBO on a chromium based browser isn’t as powerful because of recent Manifest V2 changes.
Also, the fact that Google funds Mozilla is not as bad as actually using chromium browsers. Using chromium browsers does more damage to our internet experience than having Mozilla accept dollars from Google.
In a way, don’t you think it’s weird that Google is funding Mozilla (and by your logic basically endorsing it) and yet you’re not using it?

Next browser on desktop will be one that has intentionally no JS support. If I’m making compromises I might as well go all the way through. 😅

So, let me get this straight. You’ve been using Firefox forever, but you’re willing to switch immediately over obvious sensational clickbait?
frunch@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Just looking for the next good browser, that’s all. Just the same as i was willing to ditch reddit for greener pastures, even with the snarky cunts that came along too lol

I never like to put all my eggs in one basket.
Brave is comparable to Firefox in many ways. For better or worse it’s my choice in the Chromium family for the time being.
I’ve supported Ladybird development and following them closely.
