Using firefox but concerned now Read about some alternatives: ARC not OSS and VC funded, NO. Waterfox, FOSS Librewolf, FOSS Zen, FOSS but is just a skin?? Ladybird, FOSS Orion? Edit 2/28: It seems there is no general consensus if we should switch and/or to what.

minus-squareThorned_Rose@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·16 hours agoLong time Firefox user. Installed Librewolf today and so far so good. I used Firefox sync to get all my settings, bookmarks, open tabs, etc. back. At some point I will probably find an alternative yo Firefox sync but it’ll do for the time being.
