      Holy crap thank you for sharing that. Spectacular. Also, the last minute of that had the kind of inspirational vibes that I last got in the 90s reading things on cult of the dead cow.

      @[email protected] Thanks! Oh yes it’s not easy to find the time and do a change and walk the path of frustration of changing habit and studying settings.

      Thanks for the video, I’m already subscribed to this animator artist, James Lee.

      He recently announced moving to GNU/Linux. It’s not the best period to do this for artists, with Wayland, all container war etc…I don’t remember I saw an update of them about how they succeed to make it. Certainly hard time ^ ^ I hope he found my blog post about it.

    For me, it is, honestly, sad. I’ve been using Firefox since… it was Firebird. Twenty+ years.

    Great art, as always!

    From the blog post…

    You won’t be pampered with a one-click installation for all. Instead, you’ll need to take the time to review the documentation and set up the security and privacy features that you’re willing to trade off for comfort and convenience.

    Yeah, ouch, thats not going to sell with the Plebs, and limit buy-in from them, and market share.

    They really should try to fix that, and not just hand wave it away as a problem.

    Market share is the lifeblood of the browser wars.

      😆 I don’t think LibreWolf has view for market share and plebs. As far as I know it’s a community initiative, not a company. Yes, it require time to install and setup, and understand the implication of what security and privacy setting one decide to lower. But I’m happy I took this time, I feel I understand even more how the web of 2025 is broken and how web browser interacts with it to try to ease the experience.

        I’ve never met a software developer yet who wouldn’t want their program to be popular and widely used.

        Also, when it comes to browsers, the name of the game is to get support from the big websites, which is done by having major/popular usage of their browser.

      Everything is on by default. So is actually quite easy.

      It’s very nice because you don’t really have to worry about which add-ons you need.

      It’s about the most simple browser I’ve ever used.

    @[email protected] je te suis et pas que pour la qualité de ton travail ! je vais l’installer de suite sur mon portable Frame.Work Fedora. Et pour ton mobile, tu as choisi quoi ?

      @scaro Merci. Sur mobile jusque là c’était Firefox sur un Android dégooglisé… enfin au mieu possible car c’est quasi impossible de faire un 100%.

      Mais là je teste la semaine prochaine https://iode.tech/ , c’est du https://lineageos.org/ mélangé avec de la revente de matos reconditionné. Je donnerai des news sur le blog si ça fait bien le taf, surtout si au niveau photo/video ça arrive à suivre. ☺️

        @[email protected] ah mais c’est un OS complet… je cherchais juste un navigateur pour mon Fairphone qui tourne sous Murena OS… mais je suis curieux de lire ton retour d’expérience qd même. En commençant par le navigateur inclus ;-)

      • scaro
        1•1 day ago

        @[email protected] alors je serai attentif à tes futures publications. Sur mon Fairphone avec Murena OS, je testerai le navigateur par défaut pour désinstaller dès que possible Firefox aussi. Iels verront vite la baisse de leur utilisation, sans doute lors des prochaines mises à jour…

      Honestly. The biggest dilemma browsers seem to have isn’t just funding but how to maintain they’re absolutely massive code bases.

      Either we really do a very large and robust org like the Linux kernel group, or we need to find a way to massive reduce the complexity of the browser.

      Servo is exciting and ladybird too. Maybe their fresher starts can bring in the opportunity to do that.

    @[email protected] Excellent art, as always.

    I switched this week too. It was very simple on Linux Mint, but I worry about the future of the Firefox code base.

    For those coming here in search of Firefox alternatives, I just want to point out https://zen-browser.app/ that is also a fork of Firefox though perhaps a more customised fork… Check it out if you are in the mood for trying a different layout from the default Firefox experience…

      @technikhil @davidrevoy I just gave #Librewolf and #Zenbrowser a try. Both seem to work perfectly fine, and reimporting my date from #Firefox was easy (which seems logical since they’re both based on Firefox).
      I’m not switching now though. I took a minute to check my Firefox settings and opt out from everything that seemed not to be data privacy friendly.

      I’m wondering if those forks are actually viable if Firefox dies one day… So for now I’d rather not cut the branch I’ve been sitting on for 2 decades, wait and see.

      I like the look of Zen browser though, looks like arc!

      • technikhil

        @louischance @davidrevoy Yep, perfectly rational… I too have not (yet) given up on Firefox, I have just started compartmentalizing what I use it for. The Firefox sync allows me to still keep parity between the 2 browsers, though given the direction Mozilla is going I am probably going to delete that account quite soon.
        The similarity with Arc is what drew me to the Zen browser initially. I also like the amount of space it provides for the content in it’s “compact mode” layout.

          @technikhil @louischance Yes, Zen Browser was on my list when I tested, beautiful interface and screenshot on their website.

          > I’m wondering if those forks are actually viable if Firefox dies one day…

          Louis: yes, this THE central real question about all these forks. I personally don’t think any forks around could survive that.

      @[email protected] Haha, I typed in a search engine for “furryfox” before realizing it was your way of naming Firefox. 😆
      Catchy name.
      Yes, I’ll keep my Firefox too in background. Right now mainly to compare when I have an issue with LibreWolf, and also to test my blog and peppercarrot website. 😉

        @[email protected] LOL Yeah, I get too cute sometimes.

        It’s good to have a few different browsers for website testing. I have an assortment of different browser profiles too. I use dedicated profiles mostly to keep Gahoogle and Zuckland noses out of my business.

    LibreWolf needs to adopt a Foxkeh like mascot since Mozilla refuses to do it even though it would make them so much bank and popularity. <3
