    I’ve been using Firefox for longer than i can remember. That said, I’m ready to make the leap if necessary. What’s the next browser to succeed Firefox? Suggestions??

      imo anything firefox-based until servo or ladybird matures

      i use waterfox, i know a lot of people use librewolf

      remember that switching to anything chromium (like vivaldi, brave) still gives google power. on web standards at least, mozilla still fights for us (and is arguably the only one protecting us from shit like putting tracking stabdards directly into the web spec)

      Next browser on desktop will be one that has intentionally no JS support. If I’m making compromises I might as well go all the way through. 😅

        Vivaldi is chromium based. The goal is to not support Google’s monopoly and stranglehold over dictating web standards.

          The number of people suggesting that the appropriate responce to an optional feature for the standard bearer foss browser is to jump to a chrome based browser and further cement google’s dominance is depressing.

      So, let me get this straight. You’ve been using Firefox forever, but you’re willing to switch immediately over obvious sensational clickbait?

        Just looking for the next good browser, that’s all. Just the same as i was willing to ditch reddit for greener pastures, even with the snarky cunts that came along too lol

          I never like to put all my eggs in one basket.

          Brave is comparable to Firefox in many ways. For better or worse it’s my choice in the Chromium family for the time being.

          I’ve supported Ladybird development and following them closely.
