These are not “forks” they are third-party reskins of Mozilla’s product. They’re the equivalent of downloading third party windows ISOs and then claiming that you’re not really using Windows or that you’re getting the last laugh. Don’t use firefox “forks” just use Firefox and turn on the policy templates yourself (because that’s what they’re doing at the end of the day). Also, are you really trusting a small ring of either 1-3 people to make sure the most crucial program on your computer and in your life works properly?
Stop using Firefox “forks” they are not “forks” they are third-party mods. You will not escape
There is no “fork” of the web browser, it’s a software scheme designed to be nigh irreplaceable by anyone who is not a multi-billion dollar capitalist. Ladybird? More like Cloudflare’s next hottest investment as they diversify their business portfolio. Servo? Mozilla cuts their funding and they’re years and years away from getting where we are right now. Webkit? Tell anyone not using safari to wait a few seconds for webpages to load, or the endless trove of legacy plugins built up from decades to be discarded.
The solution of course, is to reject over complicated web standards and create a base featureset, but with people’s lives being dictated by capitalist owned infrastructure that can change and morph instantly at the behest of its owners, there is no solution under capitalism.
