From the new terms:
When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox.
Come on Mozilla, what the fuck are you guys doing? You don’t have the luxury of monopoly and you’re going to alienate those few diehard fans who stick with Firefox because alternatives are shit and they all run Chromium even if they aren’t.
Ladybird needs to materialize fast before it’s too late.
I’d go Waterfox, but I really like the on-machine translation in Firefox that Waterfox doesn’t have it.
LibreWolf has the on-machine translation and when you disable some of the hardcore privacy defaults it is a quite good Firefox replacement.
Why are none of these Firefox alternatives in my distro’s repository?
Bad distro? They are in mine 🤷♂️
But has no mobile version effectively making it useless.
Firefox Desktop doesn’t have a mobile version, they just call an entirely separate codebase for the mobile version Firefox as well. If you want a mobile alternative there is Fennec.
Just use something else on mobile. I use mull (until it becomes insecure because I think they stopped working on it) and fennec.
Fennec supports extensions and syncing so it should be okay for most use cases.
IronFox is a fork of Mull when you decide it’s time.
please consider switching to ironfox, it’s a mull fork
I need sync…
Fennec and Librewolf support logging into a Firefox account and thus sync. However, that obviously partially brings you back to the Mozilla problem…
Why would they need those few diehard fans if they can’t extract profit from them?
