Among the three, which Firefox-fork browser is best for security?
Among the three, which Firefox-fork browser is best for security?
For #SilentSunday, one of my youngest little green friends. April always seems to be baby #gecko season in #Hawaii
I just took the rubbish to the outside bins and saw a really plump, really long marbled gecko hanging out on the wall just next to my front door!
I find it very odd when people refer to ‘two main browser engines’, those being Gecko and WebKit.
Do people really think Blink hasn’t diverged significantly enough to consider it another engine at this point?
so for years and years everyone on the correct side of the #tech politics spectrum has been weary of #mozilla foundation but also aware that the ... like 2%?... market share that #gecko holds among web engines is the only thing left from giving away the entire internet to google and apple.
whats keeping anyone from forking gecko and developing it separately? if the community rallies around it, then all the non-corpo aligned #foss browsers can build on it (significant proportion of them already do) and granted we have to give credit to mozilla but at least we don't have to constantly chase and disable every ai product they try to shove into their updates.
what am i missing?
I really want to keep using & supporting #gecko but #Mozilla is going down the toilet- what to do?
#Firefox desktop -> #LibreWolf (that was easy, simply copied my profile and it all came back exactly as before)
#Firefox mobile -> #IronFox (also easy on #GrapheneOS via #Accrescent store)
I can still use #FirefoxSync on both which is nice 'cos I am not quite ready to leave that convenience yet.
Now it's mostly just a matter of replacing my dependency on #Pocket (compiled out of LibreWolf), but that was on my list of services to deprecate anyway...

@trs currently using #WaterFox, so all my usual extensions are working fine.
I could even enable sync (it uses Mozilla account) safely because all data is encrypted at rest and the key never leaves your browser, and Mozilla cannot reconstruct it.
(#LibreWolf and #floorp are also built on the #Gecko foundation afaiu -- I imagine they should also be a fairly smooth transition).

Milkki wanted to try one of my drinks while he was over, unfortunately he didn't specify a "normal" drink! x3

@toad la verità è che Mozilla corporation investe in Firefox e nello sviluppo di #Gecko solo una parte dei suoi introiti ricavati per il 70% da Google. Il resto va alla Mozilla foundation che è una no profit di sinistra che finanzia vari partiti e campagne politiche negli USA e in altre società come mozilla.ai (startup che dovrebbe sviluppare tecnologie IA open source), MZLA technologies (che sviluppa Thunderbird) e in fondi di investimento (mozilla ventures).
My interpretation could be totally wrong! If it is, #Mozilla can help the community understand why this verbiage is necessary – and what risks forks and other vendors who do not have this language in their ToS harbor. If forks are exposing themselves to legal liability, Mozilla would be performing a community service to non-Mozilla #Ğecko developers by clarifying their understanding of why copyright law requires users to grant these intellectual property rights to developers.

Looking to ditch Big Tech but also not use #chromium.
I would love to use Vivaldi.
I will stay on the sinking ship #gecko.

#Firefox we need to talk,
or #DevsOfMastodon what are your issues with Firefox?
I really like Firefox(#GUX, #GUI, workflows etc), and I've always agreed that we need an independent #browser alternative to #Chromium, but I didnt think it was this bad: https://youtu.be/mmjUlFIaNLE?t=136
Sure take that video with a grain of salt, but I think he has a point.
@firefox@lemmy.world @firefox@lemmy.ml I really hope @firefoxnightly can finally start catching up!

#Herpetology friends, can someone suggest a good warming lamp for a cornsnake and for some leopard geckos? I've become a long-term caretaker of one snake and three geckos and my house is too cold for them and the owner didn't give me any lamps. If possible I need lamps under 100$ so I can fundraise for them. I'm worried about them.
