    I’m surprised FF got in with that bunch. Most of them are truly uncompromising OSS projects. Like WINE for example.

    FF skirts A LOT of corporate influence…

      Firefox offers a real alternative to chrome derivatives. I think it’s what we need to go for too.

        Yeah I use it on Linux and prefer it over Chrome (even the variants people swear are “de-googled”) but do recognize it’s more of an enemy of my enemy kind of deal. I don’t like a lot of things FF does as it does have a corporate division to answer to. And they want money.

          You could use LibreWolf on Linux, it’s a Firefox fork that removes all DRM, telemetry and other privacy-disrespecting crap from the og Firefox. All native addons/plugins are fully supported.

      I started using Cromite with OpenXNG as my search engine and it’s been good. A de-googled chromium essentially with built in privacy/ad blockers.
