  It does matter a bit.

  Librewolf devs depend on firefox development. They just rip out the stupid bits. They’re not prepared to build a full-blown fork.

    And a shitload of time to keep the fork relevant as web sites keep evolving.

  It increases the workload for fork devs the more crap they have to remove from upstream and the more the fork deviates from upstream.

  AI and open source don’t really go hand in hand

    If Luddites get their way, that will become the case forever. It is okay if you don’t want AI in your personal life, but I worry that opposition like yours will ensure that only wealthy jackasses have ownership over AI.

    The important thing is to support efforts to create truly open AI and make it a public good available to all. Projects such as LlamaCPP, Olmo, Apertus, Heretic, and others will be key to allowing ordinary people to become masters of the technology.

    Ollama + Mistral models is pretty open. All the code and weights are open with a permissible licenses.

  Is there a Librewolf for phones? Can I somehow self-host the synchronization services?

    I use fennec on phone

    f-droid.org/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid

    There is a shiton of browsers for phone but this one is often updated and the icon is cute (the most important feature)

      There is also Firefox Focus which us basically a stripped down fennec. I use it as my default browser with JS disabled.

      Fennec is slow to update actually (because of F-Droid mainly) and also it is NOT comparable to Librewolf.

      Is there a fennec like on desktop? I find librewolf has changed too much for what I want out of a Firefox fork. Websites just did not run the way I expected them to and I could not be arsed to fiddle with all of the different knobs to get them to work.

        Install Firefox and disable telemetry, that’s pretty much what Fennec does.

    Fennec and IronFox.

    You can actually host your own firefox sync service. It’s kinda a pain to configure auth but it is entirely possible.

  if google is still the majority of the revenue, it will close it down the line.
