    For what? There’s not a better option, everything else is based on Chromium which is just moving to supporting Google, and also just removed v2 extensions which cripples what you can do with the browser.

    I don’t think anyone should ditch Firefox at this point.

      There is the brand new Servo, but I don’t think it will be in par in the near future.

      There are also WebKit based browsers.

      This if you want to avoid gecko/firefox based browsers at all.

      WaterFox seems pretty good.

      Also, as far as chromium goes, it’s trivial to use literally any other chromium-based browser rather than Google’s. Even Microsoft Edge hasn’t killed Manifest v2 (yet…not actually sure if they plan to do it or not).

      As for my own opinion - I fully agree not to ditch it right now, unless you are super privacy-concerned.

      If you are, and if you think Mozilla is a lost cause, then please, as a community, get together and organise a body that is financially and legally able to carry a FLOSS browser with its own web engine. Not saying this to be snarky or as a gotcha, I am just somewhat irritated by some people saying to ditch Firefox to then say the alternative is a Firefox fork with a team way too small to handle what is needed to maintain a browser project going into the future, if they couldn’t build on the upstream code.

      Because if you don’t organise such an organisation, including eventually financially giving to that group if you have the resources, Mozilla will remain in the ambivalent position of trying to balance markets and ideals, with less and less of a bargaining chip on the ‘ideals’ side - and the web will continue to be further and further dominated by non-free software trying to make web standards more proprietary.

    Didn’t watch the video but what possibly they can be switching to? Epiphany? qutebrowser? Emacs?

    Edit: Finally had time to watch it. TLDR he’s switching to a Firefox fork which I was assuming it was entirely something else just looking at the title. Well, at least we have forks. However for the base code, Firefox should continue to live, otherwise we won’t have forks either. He raised some good points though. Mozilla does really look like they want to go for-profit way.
