Asking after the privacy debacle and manifest. I’m not keeping up closely, but iirc Firefox is the browser recommended because of Ublock. After the privacy data issue I’ve noticed broken trust from Firefox users, recommendations in favor of switching browsers, and predictions saying Firefox is going downhill fast and that their forks won’t be maintained for much longer.

So I’m here asking the seasoned sailors’ thoughts, aye. Is this just a storm passing by or are you really considering jumping ship?

      I’ve been trying ironfox but it crashes when i tap “customize homepage”

      have you experienced this?

        I just tried now for the first time and no it doesn’t crash when I press “customize homepage”.

          Is Vanadium not as ideal compared to Ironfox? I’m new to GOS

            According to the devs vanadium is preferred for security, something about Firefox not having comparable sand boxing (?). Not sure, they wrote in length about the reasoning but at a certain point my eyes started glazing over.

            I’ve been using Firefox for a long time on desktop and mobile, so when I switched to graphene I just kept with it.

            I may try to switch over to vanadium though seeing as I’m already in “switching” mode.

      Same, I’m done with Firefox / Mozilla…
      Librewolf, Waterfox, Floorp seem like viable options.

        Let me add FireDragon, a Floorp fork with librewolf and other changes.
