Hopland<p>In any case, I think the whole "we can't just have one browser" argument has been put to bed, and arguably <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mozilla</span></a> isn't the only one still implementing the <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/gecko" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gecko</span></a> engine. </p><p>I hope to see a fork between various vendors, that <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/librewolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>librewolf</span></a>, <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/zenbrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zenbrowser</span></a>, <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/floorp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>floorp</span></a> and others cross swords, and with these powers combined make <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mozilla</span></a> regret their decision to abandon libre principles.</p><p>The engine isn't bad. I think it's pretty good... just maybe they could update the standards for it :3 plz?</p>

rhys<p>Fwiw I'm trying out various <a href="https://mastodon.rhys.wtf/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Firefox</span></a> forks and <a href="https://mastodon.rhys.wtf/tags/Thunderbird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thunderbird</span></a> alternatives in preparation for the worst case coming to be, but I still think the web needs <a href="https://mastodon.rhys.wtf/tags/Gecko" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gecko</span></a> and so the world needs <a href="https://mastodon.rhys.wtf/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mozilla</span></a>.</p><p>I'm on Zen right now and have previously used Floorp, but now that Firefox supports vertical tabs Librewolf or any of the others could work for me — alongside Fennec on mobile.</p><p>Mail clients are harder though.</p>
rhys<p>I often defend <a href="https://mastodon.rhys.wtf/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mozilla</span></a> in the wake of their various misguided ventures because I view them as the sole force for good remaining in the browser space. Some few scruples are a small price to pay to ensure <a href="https://mastodon.rhys.wtf/tags/Gecko" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gecko</span></a> lives on and hopefully grows user share again, which would be good for the web as a whole.</p><p>This though... this sounds bad. I think this needs clarification and probably rewording very quickly.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.rhys.wtf/tags/FireFox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FireFox</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/02/mozilla-introducing-terms-of-use-to-firefox/amp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/02/mozill</span><span class="invisible">a-introducing-terms-of-use-to-firefox/amp</span></a></p>
