Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

We need more browser competition.
Switching to a Chromium-based browser (Arc, Brave, Vivaldi, Edge, et al) does not increase browser competition. It just further strengthens Google’s ability to control the web as a platform.
#Mozilla #Firefox
Found a list with supposed non-chromium browsers. But it's a couple of years old, so I don't know if it holds water.
There's Firefox & Waterfox
Librewolf
Mullvad
GNOME Web (Epiphany)
Pale Moon
SeaMonkey
Midori
K-Meleon
Otter Browser
And of cause, Safari.
I can't speak to the validity or quality of any of these. But at least there is something to look into.
I would like to add Zen Browser as a nice Firefox Fork
Oops. Broke my own thread.

@Jeremiah
At least one group is trying. https://ladybird.org/
And most people here seem to be switching to LibreWolf, Fennec, and/or Vivaldi.

Seeing Shopify and Proton as sponsors is a little off-putting if I'm being honest. The way proton enshitified especially makes it worrisome.
@Jeremiah @aspensmonster
@bobkmertz @dpflug @aspensmonster Unlike Mozilla's leadership, I think Ladybird's co-founders understand the primary reason people are supporting them is because they are not doing what Mozilla is doing.
Shopify and Proton are problematic companies, but I don't think they have enough financial sway or anti-privacy business reasons to corrupt Ladybird.
Regardless, I am rooting more for @servo / Verso.

@Jeremiah@alpaca.gold
But at one point Mozilla was in the same position. We see it in corporations and politics all the time where someone just takes a little money expecting it to be just that and then later they realize they are trapped.
