Libtewolf is hopefully there. Ublock origin is pre-installed

Librewolf, like all the forks, free-rides on the upstream work of paid Mozilla staff in order to be secure. It's a band-aid, not a solution.

But perhaps the existence of the forks tells the Mozilla management something?

WebKit (as used by Safari) was a fork of kHTML (written by the KDE team). And Google forked WebKit. Now we have dozens of Blink forks including Microsoft’s own browser: Blink.

I think it’s pretty safe to assume that forking the code is a low incentive for change

Band-aids like this have existed for many years, plenty of time for Mozilla to listen. And in all that time, they never had the idea to make the band-aids redundant.

I'm using Waterfox on desktop at the moment, but I really wish Mozilla would get their act back together and make all the forks unnecessary. I'm not saying they need to die: I only hope one day they aren't needed anymore.

Also, I'm afraid that's not sustainable in the long run. How long before Mozilla makes a change so big to introduce some nasty feature that it becomes impossible for forks to stay up to date with upstream? Do they really have the resources necessary to maintain an actual fork and not just a customized version?

Of all the forks I think Waterfox is the one with the strongest case that they can continue on even if they have to fully decouple from Mozilla Firefox.

I'm impressed, been unistalling that monster 20 years before the founder died.

If I remember correctly, Facebook took 10 years raising money before going ipo.

Could be wrong though.

It's been wild watching Ms shoot itself in the foot every year for the past 20 years.

Just curious, is this dark matter holding back the universal expansion?

Our best guess is “maybe?”

Grampa got a little weird at 94. But that was a long to live, and at point he most of the diseases including most of the cancers. He passed just after his tiny 15 year old dog passed. Gramps I still miss you, stubborn old man. Grama was my favorite though.

Dogs are important. I'm old, and I have two. Wagging tails & licks when I come home are really important, a claim I make comfortably without objective evidence.

Tis a bit curious R.I.P.

Is it just easier than putting together a school server on the side?

I'm probably wrong, but this argument always cracks me up.

It used to be called 3 laptops a power scrubber and a backup battery. If you want to go self hosting things. If you were fancy you had two servers.
