I’ve been seeing a lot of information lately about mozilla, and a lot of questionable claims being made about their “direction.” The bulk of their revenue comes from google, and I have been working very hard to de-google everything I can. I have moved away from drive, gmail, search, etc.
I am using Fedora on all my computers, and am logged into firefox on each of them so I have complete sync with all my devices. Are the posts I am seeing blown out of proportion, or should I be looking for another browser?
Thanks in advance!
Well, all your alternative major browser engines are from Google’s Chrome. If your concern is degree of tight association with Google, you probably don’t have preferable realistic alternatives.
I’d also add that I’m not particularly worried about Firefox. Maybe one day, but as things stand, I’m fine with 'em.
WebKit based browsers like GNOME Web do still exist and do a reasonable job. That’s funded by Apple though so…
KDE also has a WebKit browser. Heck it’d be weird if they didn’t since WebKit is a fork of KHTML
Librewolf is a good fork and Ladybird might become a thing eventually.
I’ve been using Librewolf for quite some time now and am genuinely very happy with it. All the big distros package it, so it’s not hard to install. You can scale up/down how private you want your experience and then see how that breaks sites if that’s a concern for you.
