Alright well since firefox is doubling down on implementing ai in their browser and theyre completely ignoring their user base professing how they dont want it. Which is the better fork of firefox to flee to? Im considering waterfox or librewolf since both are likely not to implement the new aislop bloat. Recently heard about this floorp browser too but its new to me and idk anything about it. Plus the name sounds gay as fuck which is the only reason im suspicious of it, the name alone already sounds like its begging to be abandoned but thats just my surface level take
>>107702675None
>>107702675Firefox + about:config tweaksIf you do anything else you are literally retarded.
The main problem is that Gecko removed the ability to be independent from Firefox. All Firefox browsers are just body mods of the Firefox chassis, which gets out of date and gets cves and not enough engine features to pass anti-bot and user agent checks.Until all the forks unite and make a common stand alone gecko you're just Firefox in drag.
>>107702902That doesnt get rid of the ai code built into the browser>>107703004Librewolf doesnt seem to be out of date. Dont they compile all their releases from the current firefox stable?
I miss the old firefox down to the UI. Didn't they pioneer extensions? How did they fall so hard from grace?
>>107702675Floorp is awesome, used it exclusively when vivaldi broke on my computer. Works great for every usecase, the only thing is its horrendous settings. But once you set it up, it works flawlessly.
>>107703241You can still enable the menubar and titlebar. I've got the former enabled.
>>107702675Liberwolf has already said they won't implement the AI shit. Just stick with them.
>>107702902This. Firefox Zero user.js is a great place to start.https://pastebin.com/PRQyRv6x>>107703174>That doesnt get rid of the ai code built into the browserIt's FOSS and you can disable it. Who cares.
>>107703537>It's FOSS and you can disable it. Who cares.I dont want ai code that has potential to create bugs and vulnerabilities in my browser. Plus since im a linuxfag im naturally an antibloat maxxy. You sound like a windowsfag that doesnt mind bloat, so if thats fine with you then ok, but its not fine with me
>>107703280How does it compare to librewolf? Have you tried both?
>>107702675I started with Netscape Navigator and I'll finish with it.
Zen Browser is pretty good on my 2019 laptop so far. Still not sure if hiding the side bar is a great idea since I almost always end up losing track of where the tabs are.
>>107703616>I dont want ai code that has potential to create bugs and vulnerabilities in my browser.I'll take "things that will never happen" for $500, Alex.
im going to chromiumshit and coping that eventually ladybird will be a usable replacement
>>107703689You just lost $500 retard LOLhttps://blog.barracuda.com/2025/11/10/ai-browsers-major-risk-cybersecurity
>>107702675>Which is the better fork of firefox to flee toNot really a solution. The gecko engine is a fucking clusterfuckingfuck and so is the upstream (mozilla). I like what the waterfox, librewolf and other guys are doing but ultimately they won't be able to fight mozillas bs forever.
>>107703854What security issues are there if you've disabled the AI shit anyway?
>>107703948nta but just because you disable something doesn't mean the bloated code and its vulnerabilities cease to exist.
>>107703733On the verge of doing the same. Firefox and its forks become more annoying to use by the month, and now that mozilla rebranded as an ad agency and are forcing AI into the browser, I'm very close to calling it on anything FF related. I don't care if you can disable it, they've burnt all good will I had with them and I no longer trust them in the slightest.

I use firefox and i'm thinking to change to something but I don't know what to choose.I made an HTML file with images to use as a default page.Since I have enabled the option to restore the previous session I never see the start page and they removed the option to set a custom url each time you open a new tab.I can't use the file I have created unless i keep it open in a tab.>Inb4 try the extension that allow you to set a cutsom url when you open a new tabAlready tried, it opens the html file but doesnt show the imagesI don't want to install librewolf because it's made by troons
>>107702675I'm using qutebrowser because every fucking chromium browser keeps bitching about my secrets storage and keeps losing my cookies.it's actually very nice. It gets out of my way and supports userscripts
If you want a fast browser you need Skia Graphite and only chrome has it (through browser flag).
>>107703625dunno, never tried it.
