And I hope #ladybird also succeeds, because we really need to tear down chromium for many reasons. But the state of the firefox engine just makes me both sad and kinda frustrated. I had forgotten what a mess it really is from not using it for so long. And I hope #Mozilla can find a path forward in general where they are not dependent on money from #Google to function as a foundation.

Given the new FF terms of service, I am wondering if Mozilla is getting hassled by Musk for information on political dissidents.

If so, switching from Firefox to one of the forks that does not use any data harvesting, never logging into any browser makers's account system, and not using such tools as browser AI should ensure Mozilla does not have any information to turn over. This in turn reduces pressure on them from assholes with warrants.

Forks maintained by people without office addresses or indentifiable assets are much tougher nuts to crack and normally don't handle "sponsored" content. That means they don't have to "process" your browsing data to serve ads as search suggestions.

For anything that could put someone ELSE in jail there's only one choice though: Torbrowser.

Oh and one more thing: if you are still using Chrome you need to stop what you are doing right now, download another browser, then delete Chrome and all associated configuration and data files.
