Mozilla downsizes as it refocuses on Firefox and AI

AI in browser? Time to move on after all this time then.

Is librewolf good? Or any other browser? I recently provisioned a Linux workstation and I'm very reluctant to install Chrome. The super insecure X11 will not help it stop practically scanning my every key stroke.

Any good ideas for a browser on Linux XFCE?

Are any of the forks targeting the long term release of Firefox?

I have no clue, that's partially why I am asking.

I've recently found out about Floorp. I haven't tried it yet though so I can't give any feedback.

Thank you, I'll definitely give it a try.

I also recently found about the Arc browser for my colleagues and started using it for work because I don't get annoying issues like important websites not working due to too aggressive blocking.

IceCat is a usable replacement if you disable the add-ons that supposedly keep you safe but totally don't.

Thank you. How is IceCat better than Librewolf btw?

Also, any list of those add-ons?

LibreWolf has been my daily driver for months now. Seems fine.

(I still have Chrome running too, haven't migrated most accounts over yet.)
