Last week we shared a number of updates with our community of users, and now we want to share them here: At Mozilla, we work hard to make Firefox the best
I’ve looked at alternative forks of Firefox before, but there were two problems for me: a) most are not up to date or slow to update, and b) hard to trust my browser to any community or other company. You see, I actually trust Mozilla, specifically Firefox and Thunderbird. At least the AI is local only, but it would add another attack vector and bloat for no reason to me. We’ll see if it can be disabled.
+1 for LibreWolf. I’ve been using it for ~2 years and it’s better than Firefox from a privacy perspective.
Development is active, so updates are being pushed regularly.
As for vertical tabs, you can easily achieve it with Tree Style Tabs.
I strongly recommend it.
Just use librewolf or something, or if they incorporate ai, I’d be surprised if an ai-free fork doesn’t pop up quickly

Accessibility is “no reason”?! I never called someone ableist before, but… gosh, you’re coming close.
You misunderstand me. “bloat for no reason to me” means it is no reason to use to me. I don’t care about alt-text in PDFs.
Librewolf is quick to update, it’s just a hardened fork of firefox

Tree style tabs is amazing, +1 for that
