    Yawn. People have been saying “Screw MozIlla, I’m switching browsers now!”

    Nothing new. Just disable the feature like you do with telemetry lol.

        Yep, faster and easier than spending an hour configuring Firefox every time reinstalling it on a new OS install.

            switching browsers

            Firefox fork

            So still the same browser, just a different flavor. Chrome and Firefox are different browsers. IronFox and LibreWolf are still Firefox.

            I’m interested in Ladybird so we can have an independent browser with no ties to Google.

              Yeah, the same browser engine. That’d be like saying all linux is the same because they all use the kernel. I do look forward to ladybird though
