    What does scnr mean?

      Basically: “it’s not meant to be taken too serious”

      It’s somewhat old internet slang.

  I pay for Kagi. I have no idea why I’d ever want to use this when things the librewolf, Florida, and helium exist…

    Aligned incentives. The FF forks are based on code from a company that is controlled opposition/competition to Google. It will capitulate. And then you’re dependent on the volunteers that pour blood, sweat, and tokens into maintaining a fork that rips out that capitulation. I’m tired, man. I am a daily FF driver, but I’m ready for browser driven by a company with better aligned incentives. I too pay for Kagi. Have been watching the browser bit for awhile to see if a Linux build would land. Or for Ladybird to mature. Frankly, anything other than chromium or firefox.

      Orion

      • not open source
      • security and privacy can’t be publicly audited

      FF forks

      • open source
      • can be publicly audited

      Ladybird

      • Run by a questionable person known to say questionable things

      Servo

      • Our only hope. FF fork maintainers should shift their efforts to ship a browser using the Servo engine when it becomes production ready.
