minus-squareA goat :verified:@mstdn.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year ago@Mars @grue LibreWolf, Pulse, Fennec, Mull, SeaMonkey, Waterfox, Basilisk, Floorp… Seems like there’s a few
minus-squareMars@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoAt least half of those are patched Firefoxes, without telemetry and improved privacy. Brave, Vivaldi, Edge etc are way more different from chromium than any of those from Firefox. The thing is Firefox components are more tightly coupled. blink and v8 are easier to wrap in your own browser than gecko and SpiderMonkey. Mozilla has been refactoring for ages improving the modularity of Firefox, but it may be already to late.
minus-squarekrnl386@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI’d take waterfox off that list. AFAIK it’s dev sold out.
