Well, Mozilla seems to be making some pretty questionable decisions, So I’m considering switching browsers for the third (Is it the third?) time. The thing is, I really like the way Firefox works, so I’ve been trying out the more famous Forks like Waterfox and Librewolf, although I’m going for Floorp. However, I’m wondering: is using a fork enough? I mean, they are Forks maintained by other people, but is there a chance that whatever Mozilla does to Firefox could affect those Forks? Should I jump to a totally different browser like Vivaldi?

    Floorp is just Firefox with some extensions, Vivaldi iirc is still chromium underneath etc etc

    Your best option is just plain old Firefox configured the way you like it

    There are a couple of new “from the ground up” browsers being developed at the moment but they aren’t ready from what I understand

      I would like to add Librewolf, which is = Firefox - (Mozilla tracking/recommendations) + security hardening

      Don’t expect it to behave like a normal browser. If you think some feature is disabled, it’s to avoid browser fingerprinting, not because it’s buggy. Read their FAQ before committing to the browser.
