Too late, I’m already on librewolf
How is it? I’m liking waterfox right now.
LibreWolf is a great project but was killing my eyes at night by not being able to follow dark-theme preferences in Private Mode. So it was forked into what is now Konform Browser. Besides unlocking theming and some other privacy-related tweaks on the preferences pane, it goes even further than LW in disabling built-in remote connections, snoopware, and AI integrations.
If you are a Linux user who haven’t yet found the right Firefox fork for you I hope you will consider it <3
Well tbh it’s Firefox but without the concerning direction Mozilla is going. I don’t want or need anything else. No point for me doing it other than Mozilla pivoting to AI. I’m glad it’s an option but fuck Mozilla for ruining a good thing.
I’m also enjoying Waterfox.
Effectively they are the same to me feature wise. The main difference is that Waterfox lets you login to your mozilla account and has the mobile app, so I can sync my bookmarks between devices.

Honestly basically identical in most ways that matter, so far
More people should be aware of the forks. Folks even on fediverse seem to treat Firefox like the proprietary products the other big browsers are.
Sure, Mozilla is going down a shitty path, but the biggest “kill switch” we have is Firefox licence and the awesome forks like Librewolf.
A better headline would be: “After Outcry, Firefox promises to move all AI features to an opt-in browser extension”
Still sounds like they want to implement AI into the browser and through the power of default enable it for millions of users with the ability to then alter the kill switch deal further down the road.
FUCK the Mozilla Corporation and of course fuck their daddy Google.
